Stalking: Real Fear, Real Crime- Part 1 of 3

The video, "Stalking: Real Fear, Real Crime," is a training tape produced through the collaborative efforts of the National Center for Victims of Crime, Lifetime Television, and LMNO Productions.
This 18-minute training tape was inspired by the tragic death of Peggy Klinke. Ms. Klinke was stalked and murdered by her ex-boyfriend in January 2003. While the tape is designed primarily for use with law enforcement officers, it is an educational tool that can be used with a wide variety of audiences. The first segment of the tape portrays Peggy's story and illustrates the methods stalkers use to terrorize their victims and the dramatic effect of stalking on victims' lives. Retired Lieutenant Mark Wynn, nationally recognized stalking expert and law enforcement trainer, is featured in the second segment.

Stalking is a lethal crime. It affects more than one million women and nearly 400,000 men in America each year. Tragically, seventy-six percent of female homicide victims were also stalked in the year prior to their murder. More than half of these victims reported the stalking to police before being murdered. It is the hope of Peggy Klinke's family that this tape will give officers the information and tools they need to effectively intervene in stalking cases.

People convicted of stalking should have to wear ankle bracelets with trackers for years after they finish serving jail time.

@KelticWoman1 Let's face it, cops dont help. If i were you, I'd make sure never to be alone. I've completely isolated myself. You should buy a gun. Legally of course. Keep it in your house. I'm not taking chances.

Police won't do anything, if you're being stalked, the only thing left is to buy a gun, and isolate yourself.

let the asshole walk in, pop him. it's completely legal

@lilsexy1982 oh my gosh were you being stalked? that is really serious crime!

[Hilbilly655321]

jesus, as much as the police piss me off not helping, i think stalking is such an insidious crime that the law can't really do what it should to prevent it. i mean, how can you define when someone coming near you or calling you becomes illegal? what makes stalking so scary is that your stalker is often times terrorizing you without actually committing any real crime.

We’ve just secured a stalking conviction against a stupid woman who was always following us with taunts about “imagine if your son was DEAD & BURIED, his face mutilated BEYOND RECOGNITION!”

10yrs ago my son (just 18YO at the time) was found guilty of ‘wilful negligence’ for his role in the death of this woman’s 15YO daughter on a funfair ride. Apparently it was his job to ensure the safety rails were in place, but he was chatting her up & forgot- easy mistake to make at his age.
