In this part I will compare an offline that means in real life and online stalking.
There are some similarities and differences. One of similarities is that in both situations most victims are women and most stalkers are men. The next one is stalkers generally have the desire to control their victims. And some of the differences are that for example there is limitation as location for stalkers in offline stalking. It means in offline stalking it is needed that victims be located in the same geographic area as stalkers but, there is no limitation in online stalking. Cyber stalkers can be anywhere.
The other one is that cyber stalkers have lower barriers to harassment and threats and he does not need to physically meet the victim. But there is some offered simple prevention of being stalked. For instance, not to share personal information online and being cautious about online meeting.
So, I can say that this issue, cyber stalking, is a huge problem that needs to be considered and taken care of fast by governments. We are still in danger of such crimes even though some countries have made laws that criminalize cyber stalking.
