January is National Stalking Awareness Month!
The U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, proudly joins the Stalking Resource Center of the National Center for Victims of Crime in presenting this award-winning National Stalking Awareness Month Web site. We have assembled a wide range of artwork, media tools, fact sheets, brochures, and additional resources for you to download and distribute throughout your community. This Web site also features an educational quiz—an interactive way for members of your community to test their awareness of stalking behaviors. We hope these resources prove helpful as you plan your outreach activities for 2010 National Stalking Awareness Month. The better your community understands stalking, the more equipped it will be to support victims and combat this insidious crime.
