The aim of this review was to study "female stalking" in the sense of the specific traits characterizing the phenomenon of stalking behaviour committed by women. The main medical databases were searched (Medline, Social Science Research Network, Apa Psyc Net), and 67 articles were selected, reporting studies conducted in clinical populations, case series, reports, reviews, retrospective studies and original articles. We outline a variety of different tactics adopted by female stalkers and a lesser propensity to pass on to physical violence. Nevertheless, female stalkers are more frequently affected by erotomania, and this condition generally increases the risk of violence. If there have previously been intimate relations between the stalker and her victim, this will increase the risk of violence. In a significant proportion of female stalkers, the behavior is carried out in the occupational setting, especially in the field of psychotherapy, where the male-female ratio is reversed. No significant differences emerged between the motivations of heterosexual or homosexual stalkers. In the category of crimes of harassment committed by women, stalking, at least in Italy, seems to be among the most prominent.
本综述的目的是研究“女性跟踪骚扰行为”，即女性实施跟踪骚扰行为这一现象所具有的特定特征。检索了主要医学数据库（医学索引数据库、社会科学研究网、美国心理学会心理学文摘数据库），筛选出67篇文章，这些文章报道了针对临床人群开展的研究、病例系列、报告、综述、回顾性研究及原创文章。我们概述了女性跟踪骚扰者采用的各种不同策略以及她们较少诉诸身体暴力的倾向。然而，女性跟踪骚扰者更常患有色情狂，这种情况通常会增加暴力风险。如果跟踪骚扰者与其受害者之间此前存在亲密关系，那么暴力风险将会增加。在相当一部分女性跟踪骚扰者中，这种行为发生在工作场合，尤其是心理治疗领域，该领域男女比例相反。异性恋或同性恋跟踪骚扰者的动机之间未出现显著差异。在女性实施的骚扰犯罪类别中，至少在意大利，跟踪骚扰行为似乎最为突出。
