About this Presentation/Workshop

Fear, distress and alarm – some of the reactions victims have to stalking. But stalking is far more – it is ‘an invasion of the mind’. It is critical that advocates, professionals and the wider community agencies recognise the debilitating effects of stalking, especially in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV) but also involving people in non-familial relationships. New Zealand has no specific stalking legislation, though it is understood to be under development. This presentation seeks to provide participants with an opportunity for a conversation about stalking. This is a general introduction to stalking, which should be consistent with, and complement our legislation when introduced.

By the end of this ‘workshop’ participants will be able to:

  • Understand stalking and the context in which stalking occurs

  • Understand behaviours often associated with stalking including use of technology

  • Describe the dynamics associated with stalking (including the SLII framework), the typology and demographics of people involved and relationships between victims and perpetrators

  • Have conversations with victims/survivors about stalking

  • Apply learnings to risk assessment and safety planning processes

  • Know where to find some of the resources available to inform policy and practice.

Any queries, contact the organiser.
