It has been conceded that, as a way to define stalking, the experience of the victim distinguishes between behaviour that is a conventionally romantic pursuit, and that which is stalking (Stocker & Nielssen, 2000). This approach to defining stalking is notwithout complication, as almost invariably a pursuer and victim will possess radically different views as to whether the conduct in question is harassing (Pathé, Mullen & Purcell, 1999; Stocker & Nielssen, 2000).
