Bien qu'il n'existe pas actuellement de consensus clair en termes de définition de la traque furtive, il existe cependant un certain nombre de points communs entre les différentes définitions utilisées. Ainsi, il faut : une victime et un persécuteur, dont les conduites relèvent du harcèlement, se manifestant par une intrusion répétitive et non sollicitée de la part du harceleur dans la sphère privée de la victime, un sentiment de peur, voire d'insécurité chez la victime. 3, record 2, French, - traque%20furtive
