In 2012, the Justice Unions Parliamentary Group had an independent parliamentary inquiry into stalking law reform, which published its report in February 2012. Many Ministers in many Governments have recognised that laws and practice on managing stalking need to improve. As a member of that inquiry, as well as a victim of a sustained campaign of stalking for three years, some years before that, I have followed the impact of the laws and updated laws over the years. Of one thing I am certain: we must have that detail in both the criminal justice system and the service justice system. That is why these amendments are important. Phrases such as “The Government are committed” and “We fully recognise” are, frankly, not quite enough.
