First I would like to thank all victims, victims/survivors of stalking who were willing to share their experiences with me. I am grateful to the 24 women and 2 men that despite being terrorised and abused they had the moral strength and emotional resilience to provide me with candid, in-depth insights about this form of mental abuse and allowed me to document the emotional realities and traumatic experiences of their lives. I hope this book reflects the truth(s) of your voices and conveys the essence of your experiences. I hope you found some light and peace in your lives. I would like to thank the Department of Criminology at Swansea University (SouthWales, UK) that gave me the opportunity by awarding me a Ph.D. studentship in 2009 to do my doctoral research on a subject I was so interested in and as a result produce a thesis on which this book is based.
