The literature on stalking inadequately incorporates the voices of female survivors whose lived experiences escalated to the point of violence or the threat of lethal violence by male perpetrators.

Such an omission poses problems for competent practice with persons-in-sexual situations, especially in a pluralistic society and a multicultural world where there are varied beliefs, values, and options regarding adult s…
