dc.description.abstractTraditional stalking and cyberstalking have become a signifi cant legal and social issue in today’s society. Although a sizeable body of research on stalking victimization and perpetration currently exists, very little is known about cyberstalking victimization. Relatedly, there is a dearth of comparative research on the topics of traditional stalking and cyberstalking. Examining the prevalence and nature of stalking victimization across national settings will allow for an exploration of the signifi cance of social context in affecting victims’ experiences as well as help highlight the competing infl uences operating in different contexts. Cross-national research on stalking will also provide an opportunity to consider a wide range of alternative options and solutions to the problem. The aim of this study is to compare and contrast the prevalence and nature of traditional stalking and cyberstalking victimization between American and Spanish university students. This study focuses on university students because there is evidence that they have a higher risk of becoming victims of stalking relative to the general population. Moreover, the comparative analysis undertaking in this study involves a country that has criminalized stalking for almost three decades (the United States) and a country that has just recently enacted an anti-stalking statute (Spain). Such analysis is warranted as it will allow the researchers to engage in critical analyses of current anti-stalking statutes and advocate for innovative, sensible, and effective solutions in addressing the crime of stalking. In addition to presenting the results, the policy implications derived from the study will also be discussed..ca
dc.description.abstractEl acoso convencional y el ciberacoso constituyen un problema social y jurídico en la sociedad actual. Si bien se cuenta con un considerable corpus de investigaciones sobre el acoso, sus víctimas y los perpetradores, no ocurre lo mismo en el caso de la victimización por ciberacoso, sobre el que se sabe muy poco. Existe supuestamente un cúmulo de investigaciones comparativas en torno al acoso convencional y el acoso on-line. El estudio de la prevalencia y la naturaleza del acoso del que son objeto las víctimas en sus contextos nacionales permite explorar la importancia del contexto social y la manera en que éste afecta la experiencia de la víctima, así como resaltar las infl uencias concurrentes que operan en diferentes contextos. Asimismo, la investigación comparativa del acoso en países diferentes permitirá considerar una amplia variedad de opciones alternativas y soluciones al problema. El presente estudio se centra en comparar y contrastar la prevalencia y las características del acoso tradicional y el ciberacoso en los estudiantes universitarios de España y de EE.UU., pues existen evidencias de que estos están en mayor riesgo de ser víctimas en comparación con su población en general. Asimismo, el análisis comparativo se centra en los Estados Unidos, donde el acoso es tipifi cado como delito desde hace casi tres décadas, y en España, un país cuya legislación contra el acoso ha sido promulgada recientemente. Este enfoque se justifi ca por cuanto posibilita un análisis crítico de las leyes anti-acoso por parte de los investigadores y la promoción de soluciones innovadoras, razonables y efi caces para hacer frente a los delitos de acoso. Además de presentar sus resultados, el estudio se complementa con una discusión acerca de las implicaciones para las políticas derivadas de éste.ca
