Mary Lou Leary, Executive Director of the National Center for Victims of Crime, the leading national organization for crime victims' right, was interviewed by America's Most Wanted Safety Center discusses stalking as a crime and the work that is being done by the National Center's Stalking Resource Center and others in the victims' rights field to improve responses for an historically underserved population.
We need stronger laws and education on stalking so that the victim is not blamed. I was a law professor at Howard University and was stalked by a delusional, serial campus stalker who wanted me to be his "wife." I "not renewed" after I reported the stalking. I sued Howard, for sexual harassment and retaliation, in "Martin v. Howard University;" but based on faulty legal instructions to the jury, jurors found that there was no law to protect me.
