In Response to Megan Rattigan's post on stalking

I agree with you megan stalking is terrifying cant imagine the fact of being stalked. Although stalking is a relatively new crime in the sense that it is prosecutable but I feel not enough is being done to help the victim. There has been research, but it shows a little about the impact of stalking on the victim, the research has done very little to help the victims. There has been no issue of making the public [possible victims] aware that stalking behaviour is a criminal offence and this is having implications upon the victim, in that they are not demanding protection. In the national criminal statistics “stalking” is under harassment and even those arrested under the Acts implemented to combat stalking, it can not be clear whether those arrested have been for stalking behaviour.
