In this seminar, Professor Troy McEwan (Swinburne University of Technology) will present findings from a recent study of over 800 Victorian homicides that identified the prevalence of prior stalking in this population. Features of stalking homicide cases will be contrasted with what we know about those who engage in stalking violence generally. The seminar will conclude with some guidance about when the presence of stalking should provoke concern about the potential for lethal violence, and when it clearly should not.
