Conclusion
1. While the introduction of anti-stalking legislation in the Criminal Codes criminal
harassment section was a very important step in the fight against stalking, there is still
more that needs to be done.
2. The public and the criminal justice system both need to understand just how serious a
crime stalking is. The emotional and psychological damage done to a stalking victim last
a lifetime, greatly altering how these victims go about living their daily lives. Not only is
psychological damage done, but there is also a great risk of violence.
