What is stalking?
Stalking is the excessive watching, contacting, following and harassing of a person. This is done against the will of the person being stalked. Those who do it are often people known to the victim (ex-partners) but they can also be strange
For example: sending a large number of text messages, emails and other messages, lurking at work or at home, harassment on the telephone, unwanted gifts and seeking information from the person's environment.
Stalking can affect the victim's health physically and psychologically.
