Curious fact now, there’s a new stalking law here in Brazil. The sentence will be increased by half if the crime is committed against children, elderly people or women. Everyone but adult men, that is. Which further solidifies the status of men as less important than women in the eyes of the law.

The fairly short study is freely available through the posted link.

Abstract

In this brief report, we examined (N = 449; 50.1% men) the role of the Dark Tetrad traits (i.e., psychopathy, sadism, narcissism, and Machiavellianism) and Fundamental Social Motives (i.e., social bonds, status, safety, mate-seeking, mate-retention, pathogen avoidance, family, and autonomy) in relation to self-reported perpetration of cyberstalking short-term and long-term intimate partners. Women were more likely to cyberstalk long-term partners, those with higher levels of Dark Tetrad traits were more likely to cyberstalk their partners regardless of relationship context, and Fundamental Social Motives only played a minor role. Results highlight the importance of exploring intimate partner cyberstalking across different relationship contexts.

Also relevant is this study by the same authors that user RhinoNomad recently posted.
