Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to research, the majority of stalkers are male. Media depictions of female stalkers as physically violent are not representative of real-world cases. There may be cases of revenge as a motive, but it is not typically the main reason for stalking. Non-violent female stalkers, family members as stalkers, and strangers as stalkers do occur but are not the most common characteristics of cases.
