Which stalker seeks to frighten and distress the target due to a sense of injustice and desire for revenge?

• A. Predatory Stalker
• B. Resentful Stalker
• C. Intimacy Stalker
• D. Psychotic Stalker

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how stalking motivations differ, and the one who aims to frighten and distress the target out of a sense of injustice and a desire for revenge fits the resentful stalker profile. This type acts from a perceived grievance, using intimidation and distress as payback for a wrong they believe has been done to them. The goal isn’t sexual pursuit or a desire for relationship (that would be the predatory or intimacy stalker), and it isn’t driven by delusions or bizarre beliefs (which would point to a psychotic stalker). Instead, the motive is to retaliate and cause the target to feel fear and instability as punishment for the imagined injustice. That makes this option the most fitting.
