Who Is Predatory Stalkers?

Improved Essays
Predatory stalkers are one of the more sinister types as their stalking has the duel purpose of gaining power and control over the victim but can be seen also as a precursor to more insidious actions such as rape or sexual assault. While this stalker can target either people they are familiar with or complete strangers their motivations are always sexual gratification, with many victims reported instances of being watched by the stalker, receiving explicit phone calls, exhibitionism, fetishism, and voyeurism (Sapac, 2015). While these types of stalkers generally stalk for shorter period than others they also have a high probability of becoming violent with their target the longer the stalking goes on for.

    Nosey Rosey On Edgework

    • 810 Words
    • 4 Pages

    ‘Edgework’ is a model that explores the interplay of emotions, identity, risk, and crime (Ferrell, Hayward, & Young, 2015). This idea would imply that “people push themselves to the ‘edge’ and participate in edgework [or risk] in search of a ‘adrenaline rush’ and identity” (Ferrell, Hayward, & Young, 2015). This explains the feeling that people experience when they creep on other’s profiles for information. It’s the thrill of not getting caught and the satisfaction of finding the information that they were looking for. This sort of edgework makes people feel like they have a purpose or identity.…

    What subset of offenders/offenses may be more suitable for profiling and why? The subset of offenders/offenses more suited to profiling is “where discernible patterns are able to be deciphered from the crime scenes or where fantasy motive of the perpetrator is readily apparent” (Brandl, 2018). Crimes where the offender gets some form of sexual or psychological fulfillment out of the act, such as rape or murder, are amongst those best suited for criminal profiling.
