Stalking
Stalking is a series of actions by one person, directed at another, that makes the other person feel afraid for their safety, or causes that person to suffer emotional distress based upon the stalker's behavior. Stalking is very serious, often violent, and may escalate over time. The stalker's actions and behavior may be unpredictable, and should always be viewed as potentially dangerous.
However, there are steps a person can take to increase their safety.
