The Trust has said that every single stalking case it dealt with this year included some form of digital interaction. It also seems that online stalking is on the rise. The Suzy Lamplugh Trust stated that it has seen a change in stalking patterns since the pandemic hit – with perpetrators ramping up the frequency and intensity of some forms of harassment. In the last year, charities have reported a sharp rise in stalking related offences. It can cause lasting emotional distress, leaving victims feeling vulnerable in their own home and community.
