“…LRAT has been used extensively to explain stalking victimization (Davis et al, 2022;Elvey et al, 2018;Fisher et al, 2002;Ménard et al, 2022;Mustaine & Tewksbury, 1999;Reyns et al, 2011). These studies find individual "target" vulnerabilities (e.g., being female and/or LGBTQ), guardianship (e.g., residency), and lifestyle factors (e.g., collegiate memberships and activities) are associated with victimization risk (Davis et al, 2022;Elvey et al, 2018;Ménard et al, 2022). Although offender motivation is a core element of clinical and forensic classifications of stalkers (Mullen et al, 1999;Strand & McEwan, 2012) and comprises one of the main tenets of LRAT, only one study could be located that used this framework to explain stalking-like behavior (i.e., cyber harassment perpetration; Wick et al, 2017).…”
