A Study on STALKING Preventive System

Stalking is a behavior tailing another constantly and repeatedly due to mere unilateral favor to the one even if it is opposed. Victims and assailants of stalking are mostly ‘acquaintances’, particularly ex-dating partners. Victims tend to passively respond to the constant harassment by assailants without informing outside due to own guilty of close ex-relationship, resulting in being victims of violent crimes, including rape, assault and murder. Furthermore, stalking is legally regulated only when it has been constantly committed, was felt as terrifying ac-tion, was overtly rejected and was committed with an intention. Thus, such behaviors by assailants with no legal qualification fulfillment are not regulated by law. The thesis would like to identify the notion, features, develop-ment condition and punishment upon stalking and to propose a preventive system against it.
