In this episode, Caroline speaks with psychologist Linda Sage about why Mullen et al.’s five stalking typologies, while useful, can only ever be a starting point. The conversation explores how stalking behaviours often overlap, shift over time, and resist neat categorisation, creating risks when typologies are used too rigidly. Linda discusses how these frameworks can support understanding and assessment when applied flexibly, and why ongoing evaluation is essential for intervention, prevention, and victim safety.
