They watched her. They monitored her life. They spread rumours, stole her identity, analysed her posts, contacted everyone she had ever known and coordinated attacks designed to ruin her life. To end her life. And they believed that they were justified. Like all stalkers do. In Click. Stalk. Destroy., Taylor takes readers inside the disturbing psychology of online stalking. Combining her professional research with real-life examples and her own experience, she unravels the psychology of this disturbing behaviour as well as the radically changing landscape of stalking, including the prevalence of female online stalkers and 'she was asking for it' narratives.
Revealing how the internet and social media has fostered new conditions for stalking, this is an exposition of today's hidden world of psychological warfare and digital surveillance.
