Review of Stalking Laws
An independent review of stalking laws will examine whether current laws are strong enough to protect victims and ensure perpetrators are punished, the government has said.
The review, led by criminal barrister Richard Wright KC, will consider how stalking and harassment laws work together and whether legislation sufficiently defines and addresses stalking behaviour.
- Examine the current laws and their effectiveness in protecting victims
- Consider how stalking and harassment laws work together
- Determine whether changes in the law are necessary to aid police in better handling of stalking cases
- Evaluate the impact of new and emerging technology on stalking behaviours
Exercise will be 'conducted rapidly to identify any gaps in existing legislation', Richard Wright KC says.
The review is expected to be completed by March 2026.
