Abstract: The present study examines stalking victimization, and Stalking Typologies in Greece and the United Kingdom. A total of 1068 participants were recruited (529 Greek and 539 UK participants), aged 16–79 years. The questionnaire included a Demographics section and Experience with stalking (victimization, and stalking behaviours experienced). The results illustrated that 35.7% of the Greek participants and 42.3% of the UK participants had experienced stalking. A Smallest Space Analysis was performed to examine stalking typology regarding stalking behaviours for victimization and revealed three themes (intimacy, aggression, and sexuality). The cultural differences and other aspects that impacted the results are discussed. The implications, limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
