Abstract
The present paper takes up the problem of stalking, a phenomenon topical in law, psychology and sociology. Stalking is, among others, persecution, harassment. It is considered as aggression. From the offender’s view point , it is analyzed as pathology of emotions, sentiments, and love; but also as dysfunctional dependence upon a person. The paper offers a broader, theoretical interpretation of stalker’s behavior, referring to Bowlby’s attachment theory and postmodern cultural conditions.
