Harassment

Harassment, in the context of crime against person law, refers to unwanted and repeated behavior that causes distress or fear to another person. This can include actions like stalking, threatening messages, or persistent unwanted contact. The key aspect is that the behavior creates a sense of intimidation or discomfort for the victim. It doesn't always involve physical harm, but it can strongly impact a person's emotional well-being. Laws against harassment aim to protect individuals from such behaviors, ensuring they can feel safe in their daily lives.
