description Stalking, or obsessional following, is a common crime that can significantly endanger the victim's quality of life. Therefore, it requires multidimensional psychosocial and criminological approaches at the level of individual and social intervention. Legal and non-legal (research, clinical studies, etc.) definitions of stalking vary from country to country and even from state to state. The pattern of persistent actions creates uneasiness in the person and creates security concerns; It is a common element in the persistent follow-up literature. When we look at our country, the crime of obsessional following has been defined in the Law on the Execution of Criminal and Security Measures and the Law on Amendments to Some Laws published in the Official Gazette No. 31848 dated May 12, 2022. Partner obsessional following is a special form of stalking by a partner or ex-partner. For various reasons, the consequences of persistent stalking by a partner or ex-partner can be much more devastating. To effectively handle partner tracking, it is important to understand its subtle and open dynamics. Understanding these dynamics can provide information on how to increase women's safety, both through legal processes and in general, to help women develop coping strategies and recover from the stress associated with stalking. For this reason, in this review, first of all, what partner stalking is, the characteristics of the aggressor and the victim, the tactics of stalking will be explained.
