Crime Prevention advice

This week has been National Stalking Awareness Week 2015.

Is it stalking? That is the vital question being addressed in a new awareness film being released by Suzy Lamplugh Trust to launch National Stalking Awareness Week (20 -24 April 2015).

With one in six women and one in 12 men being stalked at some point in their lives (CSEW2013) the film helps to raise awareness amongst the public about what stalking is and to make clear it’s not romantic, trivial or funny, its worrying, serious and illegal.

The two-minute animated film, ‘This is Stalking’, looks at what stalking is and the different ways it can manifest as well as offering practical help and support for people who are experiencing it, through the National Stalking Helpline.

Stalking is a very common and sinister problem in the UK but there are still a lot of myths around it that need to be dispelled, which is why this film is so important.
