Lecture 3 Bad Behaviour (stalking)


Well were can i even start on this. First i think that you would have to be pretty sad and lonely to stalk someone. On the other hand i also think that stalking is a frightening experience for the person who is being stalked. The fact that someone is watching you. This would make me uncomfortable especially if i am alone. All kinds of things would be going through my mind if the person watching m now, am i safe eventually i would get very paranoid. In my opinion i think that there are different types of stalking for example the harmless one were the stalker just calls the person all the time and always trying to speak to your or there is the serious type of stalking were the person is waiting outside your house trying to look though your windows or breaking into your email account.In the lecture we looked at a video clip from Peep show where one of the characters had a crush on a colleague from work so he broke into her email account so that he could find out information about her so that he can go out with her. After watching this video clip we was asked: When does a concerned interest in someone’s activities become stalking? In my opinion i think that it become stalking when the stalker hacks into the victims email address so that they can get closer or find out more about their victim. I also think that it becomes stalking when the victim feel uncomfortable or scared to leave the house or even be in their own house because they feel that they are being watched by the stalker.

The other question that was asked in the lecture was: Are some kinds of observance allowable and appropriate and which ones aren’t? In my opinion i think that that looking out or making sure that you neighbours children are safe is expectable but then on the other hand it depends on it the neighbour who is looking after the child is are they realisable, do they have a history of a criminal record and are they a paedophile. You hear stories about paedophiles living in an area or on the sex offenders register and the neighbours don’t even have a clue and till something bad happens. But then on the other hand you could have a good neighbour who is just looking out for your children but other people might see it the wrong way and this might create problems for that person.

According to the BBC news website a father has spoken of how he is trying to clear his name after being falsely labelled a paedophile. A leaflet sent to neighbours wrongly claims care home worker Michael Jones, 42, from Porthcawl, is being investigated for assaulting a child. The man who was accused said that he was worried about the effect on his family
The leaflet came to the police's attention when two neighbours handed copies over to them.
It included information about Mr Jones's appearance, address and car details.
But it contains a wrong date of birth and middle name for him.
The leaflet warns: "Should you see this vehicle parked outside your house or school please be vigilant or even contact the police. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/6386857.stm


In my opinion i think that these days you can never really trust anyone even if it your neighbour because you can never really know a person to well.
