Stalking

Stalking is a pattern of unwanted and distressing behavior directed at an individual that causes them to feel afraid, threatened, or harassed. This can include repeated phone calls, messages, following someone, or showing up uninvited at their home or workplace. Stalking is a crime because it violates a person's right to feel safe and secure. Legal definitions may vary, but generally, it involves a course of conduct that a reasonable person would find alarming or intrusive. Victims are encouraged to report such behavior to authorities for protection and legal recourse.
