About half of all victims of stalking indicated that they were stalked before the age of 25.  Stalkers use many tactics including:  Approaching the victim or showing up in places when the victim didn’t want them to be there;  making unwanted telephone calls; leaving the victim unwanted messages (text or voice);  watching or following the victim from a distance spying on the victim with a listening device, camera, or #GPS.  (or #IOT device)   https://www.vice.com/en/article/d3akpk/smart-home-technology-stalking-harassment     https://www.ucl.ac.uk/steapp/sites/steapp/files/giot-report.pdf - Tech Abuse Gender and IoT Research Report    https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260867980_TRAPPED_TECHNOLOGY_AS_A_BARRIER_TO_LEAVING_AN_ABUSIVE_RELATIONSHIP     Center to End Technical #Abuse (CETA) https://www.ceta.tech.cornell.edu/resources https://82beb9a6-b7db-490a-88be-9f149bafe221.filesusr.com/ugd/c4e6d5_20fe31daffd74b2fb4b4735d703dad6a.pdf -disconnect checklist   Tw: stalking resulting in death:  A pattern of fixation and obsession’: How the #pandemic exacerbated stalking cases in the UK https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/women/stalking-cases-pandemic-gracie-spinks-b1956589.html     https://pathwaystosafety.org/staying-safe/ https://www.techsafety.org/ https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51dc541ce4b03ebab8c5c88c/t/61674c082419497a370af990/1634159630368/2021_T2E+Needs+Assessment+Report.pdf  “Smart” or connected devices often referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT) turn up in cases “all the time” or “often” for a third of advocates and 1 in 5 #legal systems professionals. While this is rather low, people are increasingly using these types of technology. With additional use we may see increases in abuse through them. Additionally, advocates and legal systems professionals are often not aware of how these technologies can be misused, so they may not ask about them.
