Writer's picture: kellygriggkellygrigg

One in seven people aged 16 years and over in England and Wales has been a victim of stalking at least once, with women and younger people the most commonly affected. We explore the experiences behind the numbers through the voices of victims.


Around one in seven people aged 16 years and over in England and Wales has been a victim of stalking at least once, according to our latest data.

Stalking can take many forms and has a devastating and long-lasting impact on people’s lives.

Our latest data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) shows how one in five women and around 1 in 11 men aged 16 years and over has been a victim of stalking.

It also shows that younger people were more likely to be stalking victims in the year ending March 2024.

In this article we have worked with charities and organisations that support stalking victims. The experiences of these victims have been shared with us in their own words.

As a victim of stalking your life is suspended and controlled by someone else... locked in a cycle of fear and anxiety. I feel like I am living someone else’s life, the stalking behaviours have robbed me of the life I built... it’s a very lonely, isolated existence.
