Stalking offences in London have increased in the last two years (PA)
(Picture: PA Archive)Stalking is a heinous crime. Not only is it a cowardly display of predatory behaviour, but it can leave victims coping with the impact and trauma long after the stalking has stopped. The news yesterday that offences have gone up in London in the last two years is a real concern. These alarming figures are a shocking warning for us all that as a society we need to wake up and work together to stamp this behaviour out.
It is simply not right that any Londoner should feel unsafe going about their daily lives and I fully support the Met’s new crackdown targeting offenders. This National Stalking Awareness Week, we must use this moment to all work together to deliver real change.
