I personally consider stalking to be very bad. I have just read an article in the Sun newspaper about the star Geri Halliwell who has had to increase the level of security at her home due to someone stalking her. It is claimed the star fears for the safety of herself, and her daughter Bluebell. I cannot imagine how Geri must feel knowing she is being watched 24 hours a day by someone she has never met. According to a National US Stalking awareness website, stalking is where a person is made to feel fear by another person, whether it is due to numerous phone calls, waiting outside the person’s home, or turning up at their workplace. Stalking can have severe consequences, a shop assistant who worked in top store Harvey Nichols in London was shot and killed as a result of being stalked by a previous partner. It is alleged that it was well known throughout the store that the 22 year old girl was being frequently stalked by her previous partner. The 30 year old man claimed he was not stalking, but that he merely loved her and would not harm her, however, he pleaded guilty to harassment and was also arrested prior to killing his former girlfriend. This incident demonstrates the reality of stalking if it is not properly dealt with by the police.Sunday 12 April 2009
