Stalking
The offence of following or contacting a woman repeatedly despite clear disinterest, or monitoring her use of the internet or electronic communication.
Stalking is committed when a man follows or repeatedly contacts a woman despite her clear indication of disinterest, or monitors her use of the internet, email, or other electronic communication, in a manner that causes fear or distress.
It covers both physical following and digital surveillance, reflecting how harassment increasingly takes place online as much as in person.
