Is stalking in the real world a crime in itself?
In most jurisdictions, yes. But as has been pointed out, enforcement can be very difficult.
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?
Sometimes, yes. I'm not going to go into details because I'm not an expert, but google "stalking laws".
