Doener, William G., and Steven P. Lab. Victimology. fifth. Newark: Matthew  bender & Company Inc, 2008. Print.

  This was a victimology book that had a lot of basic information about stalking. It was very broad and just had simple definitions and typologies’. The only thing I used this source was for comparing definitions and types from other sources then coming up with a definition that incorporated everything into one definition.

This was an article about who is stalked why and what effects it has on them. it focused mainly on the psychological effects of stalking on victims and not a lot on the different types of stalking or the people that stalk. it was very brief on the general information and focused mainly on the victim and what the victims go through after the stalking is over with.

  This source had a lot of information on the types of stalking offenders.  There was not much information on this page except for a simple definition then types of offenders.  The types of offenders was very specific and described those types based on a study conducted by another person and used those finding in coming up with the authors own definitions to the types of stalkers. I read each one and looked at what they were like and tried to come up with a shorter quick definition to describe them without using the findings as of the study.
