federal anti-stalking legislation

Federal anti-stalking legislation makes it illegal to repeatedly follow, harass, or threaten someone in a way that causes them fear or emotional distress across state lines or through electronic communication. It aims to protect individuals by criminalizing persistent unwanted attention that disrupts their safety and well-being. These laws enable law enforcement to intervene and prosecute offenders who engage in these behaviors beyond local jurisdiction, ensuring accountability and safeguarding victims from ongoing harassment.
