Stalking/Bullying⌗

Stalking and Bullying can severely hinder a person’s daily life or sometimes destroy a life. If you think or know you are being stalked or bullied our investigators can collect the information and evidence for possible legal action needed to confront the perpetrator.

  • Approximately 15% of women and 6% of men in the United States have ever experienced stalking according to the CDC.
  • More than 50% of female stalking survivors and more than 30% of male stalking survivors were first stalked before they were 25 years old.
  • More than 80% of survivors reported the person stalking them was known to them in some way. (CDC, 2014)
  • The perpetrator is often someone the survivor is or was in a relationship with, an acquaintance, or family member. (CDC, 2014). Strangers are reported as the perpetrator of stalking in less than 25% of stalking cases.
  • We know that bullying behavior and suicide-related behavior are closely related. This means youth who report any involvement with bullying behavior are more likely to report high levels of suicide-related behavior than youth who do not report any involvement with bullying behavior.
  • We know enough about the relationship between bullying and suicide-related behavior to make evidence-based recommendations to improve prevention efforts.

Art/Artifact Investigations⌗

The Art Market is one of the fastest growing markets for commodity investment. Because of this stolen art and artifacts are becoming a growing gray and dark market commodity as well. Provenance (history of ownership) research and investigations are a necessary part of the process for collectors from private owners to galleries and museums. Stolen artifacts not only constitute the theft of property but also a removal of physical culture, robbing the community of its connection to its heritage.

  • U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation estimated that art valued at $4 billion to $6 billion was stolen worldwide each year.
  • Where Art is Stolen From: Private Homes 52%, Art Galleries 10%, Churches 8%
  • Museum Thefts Involving Insider 90%
