January is National Stalking Awareness Month and what better time then New Years to resolve to be more knowledgeable and proactive when dealing with stalking and bullying.
Laws around the world are changing in efforts to better protect victims. But stalking and bullying are still crimes in which the lion's share of responsibility for personal safety and mental and physical health still resides with the victim, their friends, family, and co-workers.
A great place to gather information about stalking and the help available for victims is the National Center for Victims of Crime and the Stalking Resource Center which have teamed up to create National Stalking Awareness.
If you want to share your support, the National Stalking Awareness Month site has ribbons, posters, and videos.
Of course, over the next few days, as I wade through old posts and new research, I will be updating this blog with new laws, coping skills, and books and videos to help victims and their families.
Let's make 2012 the year of personal power!

Happy New Year's Blog Cleaning
OK, I admit it……I can be a tad on the “wordy” side.
When I started writing, I had a hand me down, IBM Selectric III typewriter. There was something wasteful and rather lazy about just typing a couple sentences….all that empty, white paper. And so I filled up each and every page, a proud member of the literary version of the “clean plate” club.
Over the years, being comfortable writing hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of words for training manuals, corporate prospectuses, and ultimately screen plays and books served me well.
For years, my blogs have reflected my penchant for long winded prose. But times have changed. The reflective, research heavy, commentary has gone the way of the dodo bird. Today people seem to want “sound bite” summaries, twitter length quips with a link to bullet point information, for those who want a more in-depth analysis of an issue.
Over the course of the next few days, I am doing some blog-cleaning, which is a lot like spring cleaning your home. I will be packing away posts that aren’t relevant or useful due mostly to changes in the law. Airing out and altering (summarizing) posts that are still relevant. And embarking on a more user friendly method of commentary.
Surviving Stalking will continue to be the place to find resources, current cases, and legal opinion on stalking, harassment, and bullying in the United Kingdom, Europe, and America.
The Justice Myth will be the home of my work on prosecutorial misconduct, justice reform, tort reform, and general legal issues and will include updates on my current project “The Justice Myth.”
I promise to try to keep things brief and other than this post, wont double post. I appreciate both your patience over the next few days of house keeping and your continued support and interest in my work. - VA
