Due to these devastating effects, victims report a high prevalence of psychological harm such as anxiety and stress, causing difficulty sleeping and other issues.
The Suzy Lamplugh Trust are able to offer not only practical advice concerning stalking and the law, but they also have links to Single Points of Contact within each Police force, who can review cases of stalking behaviour to help ensure enough is being done to protect victims:
