Up until right now, I read couple books on stalking behaviour, this one is one of the best I have ever read, it is very srong in defining the behaviour, lots of examples are given which may help you better understand the behaviour. If you are the stalking victim this book might help you save your own life. I strongly recommend this book anyone who wants to deal with stalking behaviour effectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars How To Stop A Stalker, March 24, 2004

Jennifer & Richard (Grass Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Stop a Stalker (Paperback)

We are being stalked by a previous convicted stalker.
We are located in the foothills of California and the home we live in is serviced by the County Sheriff.

It has been, and still is, a very difficult process to get people to understand stalking laws.

We bought this book because we needed to learn how to help ourselves...and to assist others to understand what can be done.

Dective Proctor's book has helped us through the maze. This is a book to read and then pass it around. Especially to people who really need to "Get It."

We recommend this book highly.
Mike Proctor really cares about his work both as a detective and author.
It is fantastic to have someone who understands.

This is a must read book for every adult, especialy women. Dective Proctor opened my eyes to the crime of stalking. Dectective Proctor wrote a no-nonsense, easy to read and understand book, packed full of information and easy to follow steps for your personal safety.
He explains who and why people stalk. I found this book to be very informative. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time.
