Defining Felony Stalking. Stalking can potentially be considered a felony if: â The victim has gotten a restraining order against the stalker and the stalker disobeys this order. â The stalker has been convicted of a violent crime at some point of time in the past.
Stalking is a term used to describe a set of behaviors that has been exhibited by individuals for thousands of years. While all states have had laws about assault and harassment for some time, the first law prohibiting stalking was not enacted until 1990. California was the first state to make acts of stalking illegal. This law was passed in response to some high profile stalking cases that eventually resulted in the victim's murder.
