Policing Expert David Thomason Talking about Stalking

Stalking is an underrated crime, often minimised by both victims (at first) and professionals. Our session today with a specialist police officer David Thomason

Many fail to recognise the profound psychological impact and pervasive fear that stalking can instill. Victims frequently dismiss the behaviour as merely annoying or harmless, while professionals may overlook its severity due to its often subtle and insidious nature.
