Statistics: Cyberstalking On Increase
Females are the primary victims of cyberstalking with a 7% increase over 2008, new statistics just released indicate, but the gap between male and female harassers is rapidly shrinking as the years go by and now there is only a 10% difference, when in the beginning, almost all the harassers were male.
Working to Halt Online Abuse (WHOA) have released their 2009 cyberstalking statistics as well as cumulative statistics for the past 10 years.
WHOA is the oldest and largest all-volunteer online safety organization that has been continuously helping adult victims of cyberstalking since 1997. WHOA is the only online organization to provide the most up-to-date cyberstalking statistics and cumulative trends.
WHOA has developed a database of reliable cyberstalking demographic criteria based on the information it received from victims and, while absolute verification is not 100% possible, the data from victims is considered to be credible and realistic.
