Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coercive control theory suggests that stalking is a form of dominance and aggression used to control the victim. Stalkers use various tactics to maintain power over their victims, such as surveillance, isolation, and intimidation. This behavior is not motivated by a desire to preserve the relationship or because the victim did not clearly state their lack of interest. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that female stalking is more socially acceptable than male stalking.
