Harassment
The Supplemental Victimization Survey (SVS) identified seven types of harassing or unwanted behaviors consistent with a course of conduct experienced by stalking and
harassment victims. The survey classified individuals as harassment victims if they responded that they experienced at least one of these behaviors on at least two
separate occasions, but neither reported feeling fear as a result of such conduct nor experienced actions that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. The SVS
measured the following stalking behaviors: making unwanted phone calls; sending unsolicited or unwanted letters or e-mails; following or spying on the victim; showing
up at places without a legitimate reason; waiting at places for the victim; leaving unwanted items, presents, or flowers; posting information or spreading rumors about
the victim on the internet, in a public place, or by word of mouth. These instances of harassment might eventually have risen to the definitional requirement for stalking.
However, at the time of the interview, the offender�s actions and victim�s responses did not rise to the threshold of stalking victimization as measured by the SVS.
A person aged 18 or older.
