Interpersonal Violence

Appalachian State University defines stalking as engaging in any behaviors or activities occurring on more than one occasion directed at a specific individual that places or is likely to place a reasonable individual in fear or at risk of physical, mental, or emotional harm for themselves or others. Such behaviors or activities may occur directly, indirectly, or through a third party, and may include, but are not limited to: 

• unwelcome communication of any type (e.g., face-to-face, telephone calls, voice messages, electronic mail, written letters or notes);
• unwanted gifts;
• pursuing/following;
• observing/surveillance; or
• interference with property.
