Stalking


Stalking is when someone follows a person 24/7. It is a common for women to be followed by a stalker mostly by their ex partner. It becomes Britain’s fastest growing crime – with over 4,000 prosecutions.


To tackle these problems, Jack Straw from Home Secretary introduced a new law called Protection from Harassment Act. He also had set up anti-stalking police unit in 2000 to prevent it to happen.



To be stalked is a scary process. Mostly women and few men are in fear of being attacked or even murdered.
