Stalking is a crime that is often misunderstood, minimized, or missed entirely. This podcast is training for those who work with adult and teen survivors of sexual assault. The training will address the crime of stalking, including stalking behaviors, prevalence, and lethality including the impact of stalking on victims and the ways in which advocates can incorporate victim-based safety planning and threat assessment into their work with stalking victims. Preventative measures, safety planning, and legal remedies are also discussed.
This event was sponsored by the Tri-County Sexual Assault Task Force and promoted by the National Crime Victim Law Institute at Lewis & Clark Law School. The program was held at the Multnomah County Southeast Health Center in Portland, Oregon on January 29, 2007.
