The term stalking comes from English and literally means "to stalk, to approach the prey stealthily." This harassing behavior can manifest in various forms, including telephone stalking. But how can one proceed to file an effective complaint?
Stalking is a crime that consists of a series of repeated harassing acts over time, causing a lasting state of anxiety or fear in the victim, significantly compromising their quality of life. It can include following, threats, obsessive phone calls, and other intrusive behaviors.
To file a report-complaint for stalking, it is essential to gather evidence of the harassing behaviors. Here’s how to proceed:
"The report is a fundamental tool to protect one's safety and well-being."
Stalking is punishable by imprisonment from six months to five years, a penalty that can be increased in case of recidivism or if the crime is committed against a vulnerable person. It is important to act promptly to ensure that every necessary measure is taken to protect the victim, such as a restraining order against the stalker.
