Scottish University to set up centre against stalking
A Scottish university will set up a centre for the prevention of stalking this month to help reduce "abusive" and "harmful" behaviour.
The University of the West of Scotland has unveiled plans for an Action Against Stalking centre, run in partnership with the namesake charity.
The project will involve research into the issue, as well as studying coercion and control on children and young people, the motivations of perpetrators, and cyber-stalking.
It will be unveiled at the first-ever international conference on the problem. The three-day event will take place online from April 20, during National Stalking Awareness Week.
