The theoretical part is based on available literature resources and and creating basis for practical part. It is focused on explaining the main terminology of the stalking, the characteristics of stalkers and victims. The content of the practical part is an analysis of information of gathered data that result from the survey. The survey has been realized as a form of an interview and a questionnaire.

A few proposions have been obtained from the available sample. The most important are two of them. The most common form of stalking is a partner stalking (also called as an ex-partner stalking) . The victims of this type haven?t any information, where to get advice about their problem. The questionnaire for general practitioners and the helping professions were chosen to complement an idea of a practical reflection of this new phenomenon.
