Is stalking in the real world a crime in itself? The making of threats of bodily harm certainly is a crime. Stalking behavior would certainly make such a threat seem more real, but is stalking without an explicit threat a crime?
It depends on jurisdiction of course:

The most effective method of fighting stalking, cyber or real, is to improve our coverage of these laws, including coverage on how effective these laws have been.
The full text of any law or judicial decision can be placed onto Wikisource, annotated and discussed, and translated into other languages. On en.WS, use {{PD-GovEdict}}.
