Survey of stalking at WPI

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the amount of stalking taking pl ace on the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) campus in which computers play such a huge role in the lives of the students. Our results were then c ompared with those reported in a stalking study done at West Virginia Unive rsity (WVU). Surprisingly (to us), a smaller percentage of both females and males were stalked at WPI. The use of the Internet did not play a major ro le in stalking as we had expected. Results reported in a TV news report and a newspaper article indicate, however, that much less stalking occurs amon g the general population than does at WVU and WPI.
