In 2019, cyberstalking was estimated to have affected nearly three million people nationally over the age of 16 years, (Morgan & Truman, 2022). Unfortunately, only about 86% of victims report cyberstalking to law enforcement, most victims reported not knowing their experiences were illegal.
So, this year, you are invited to take a virtual trip around Maryland, to recognize Cyberstalking Awareness Month, to help our community identify cyberstalking, and to help Marylanders understand the laws relevant to stalking that utilizes technology.

Learn more about cyberstalking, enjoy a cocktail or mocktail, and reveal some fun Maryland facts, all while receiving clues about the stalker amongst you.
