摘要
As awareness about stalking has grown, so has an understanding that the justice system has not effectively protected victims from that unique crime. In 1990, California implemented reforms in stalking criminal laws, and by the end of the 1990s all states had done so. In 1994, federal anti-stalking laws were passed. Early research found limited success with new stalking laws as most did not result in conviction. Civil rights of action and protective orders for stalking victims have also been passed by states. This manuscript reviews the history legal reforms to address stalking and offers select recommendations for future reform.
