Episode 8: Stalking
Most of us have a rough idea of what stalking involves – the stereotype of a creepy guy following you around – but in the era of social media and lockdowns, cyberstalking is also a growing problem. Some 14,000 cases of stalking-related offences occurred in Victoria last year, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. Gemma and Nick talk to Tony North, Marie Barnard and Michelle McDonnell of the VLRC’s inquiry into stalking laws. How does the law currently deal with stalking, and what can you do if you are being stalked? To find out more, visit Stalking – Victorian Law Reform Commission.
