Harassment & Stalking

SEEK HELP FOR STALKING

Stalking is a traumatic experience that can profoundly impact victims, potentially leading to nightmares, sleep disturbances, and various mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety. These reactions, while challenging to navigate, are common in such situations. For individuals who suspect they are being stalked, seeking assistance from law enforcement, friends, and family is crucial. Developing a safety plan and connecting with peer advocate groups for additional support can also be highly beneficial, with a primary focus on ensuring personal safety above all else.

Facts on stalking - criminal harassment:

Over 1 in 10 women aged 15 years and older in Canada have been victims of stalking. Among female victims, obscene phone calls are the most commonly reported form of stalking. Most victims know their stalker personally, whether it's an intimate partner, acquaintance, or someone else in their social circle. In response, more than one-third of victims report the stalking to the police.

One in 10 victims also seek a protective order against their stalker, but nearly half of those protective orders are violated. Notably, female victims who are stalked by former intimate partners experience a higher level of physical violence compared to those stalked by strangers or acquaintances.

If you or someone you know is dealing with a stalking situation, Adept Investigations Agency is here to help. We offer services like background checks, surveillance, fraud investigations, and more. We understand the sensitive nature of such cases and prioritize your privacy and confidentiality. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our expert investigators.

Some forms of conventional stalking include;

Giving Unwanted Gifts: Presenting flowers, jewelry, or other items to the victim despite clear indications that they are unwanted or unwelcome.
Making Unwanted Phone Calls: Repeatedly contacting the victim by phone without their consent, causing emotional distress or fear.
Following the Victim: Engaging in the act of tailing or shadowing the victim in physical locations, causing feelings of fear or discomfort.
Unwelcome Surveillance of the Victim: Secretly observing the victim's activities, often through technology, creating a sense of invasion of privacy.
Spreading False Information: Disseminating rumors, lies, or malicious claims about the victim to damage their reputation or relationships.
Trespassing and/or Breaking and Entering: Illegally entering the victim’s property, or being present on their property without permission.
Contacting the Victim’s Place of Work: Harassing the victim by reaching out to their workplace, disrupting their professional environment.
Threatening Harm: Issuing threats to the victim, their loved ones, or even threatening self-harm, with the intent to intimidate or control.
Damaging the Victim’s Property: Deliberately causing harm or destruction to the victim's personal belongings, property, or home.

These actions are all illegal and can have serious legal consequences, including criminal charges.

If you or someone else is experiencing any of the above, here's what should be done:

Harassing Emails: If you're receiving threatening or harassing emails, it's crucial to save the evidence (screenshots, email copies) and report the sender to the relevant authorities (e.g., local police or a cybercrime unit). You can also block the sender or set up filters.
Spamming Text Messages: Report spam to your mobile provider, who may be able to block the numbers or assist in identifying the source. It is also advisable to avoid responding to unsolicited messages, as that can sometimes provoke further harassment.
Unwanted Attention on Social Media: On platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you can block or report users who engage in harassment. These platforms often have built-in tools to report inappropriate behavior, and they may take action against the harasser.
Hacking Phones or Computers: If you suspect that your phone or computer has been hacked, you should change all of your passwords and consider using multi-factor authentication (MFA) for added security. It’s also helpful to install antivirus software and contact a professional to scan your devices for malicious activity.
Planted Spying Bugs and Electronic Listening Devices: If you believe there are spying devices installed in your home, workplace, or car, you should contact a professional who specializes in counter-surveillance. They can help detect and remove such devices.
Unauthorized GPS Tracking: If you think you're being tracked without your consent, check your devices for any unfamiliar apps or software. Consider using a GPS tracker detector app or a professional service to ensure your privacy is intact. It's also a good idea to report this to the authorities.
