 Stocking is an insidious crime, which is a profound and damaging effect on its victims. It can often culminate in serious violence. The recourse for victims currently is to apply for a non-harassment order through the civil courts, often at their own expense, at a time when they're at their most vulnerable. I'm Rhona Mackay MSP and I'm proposing a Member's Bill, which would allow police to apply for a stocking protection order on behalf of the victim. My consultation is currently open and I look forward to hearing your views.
