摘要 当前的报纸报道重点介绍了一些更为耸人听闻的网络跟踪案件，但我们对这些犯罪行为及其受害者真正了解多少？虽然传统的线下跟踪和网络跟踪之间存在一些相似之处，但两者之间的差异可能会对受害者产生巨大的影响。本文将重点介绍我们对网络跟踪的了解，例如它可能造成的危害、此类犯罪的数量和不断升级的行为明显增加的性质，以及许多州法律没有充分解决网络跟踪犯罪的观察结果。根据我们所掌握的情况，我们可以得出结论，关于网络跟踪，我们还有很多不了解的地方，部分原因是这种行为很少被报道，执法机构在收到报道后没有足够的能力来处理它，而且往往缺乏可用的资源。本文将重点讨论政策影响以及增加我们对网络跟踪的了解以更好地帮助受害者的一些必要步骤。
Abstract Current newspaper accounts have highlighted some of the more sensationalized cyberstalking cases, but what do we really know about these offenses and their victims? While there are some similarities between traditional offline stalking and cyberstalking, the differences between the two can have a tremendous impact on victims. This article will focus on what we know about cyberstalking, such as the harm it may cause, the apparent increasing nature in terms of volume and escalating actions of these types of crimes, and the observation that many state laws do not adequately address cyberstalking offenses. In light of what we do know, we can conclude that there is much more that we do not know about cyberstalking in part because it is rarely reported, law enforcement agencies are ill equipped to handle it when it is reported, and the availability of resources are often lacking. This article will focus on the policy implications and some of the steps necessary to increase our knowledge about cyberstalking to better assist and aid its victims.
