Different states have different laws about stalking. Not all states define stalking the same way. Some states prosecute stalking as a felony; others do not.
Some states have a “level of fear” that the victim must feel in order for it to be called stalking. Despite the lack of alignment between states, research shows that more than 40 percent of teenagers were stalked by former dating partners, who damaged property, threatened them online, or harassed them in person.
For this assignment, design a brochure on stalking that could be put in your local high school. The purpose of the brochure is to help teens understand what stalking is (according to the rules in Hawaii), different ways that a person can be stalked, understand the laws in your state, and learn what to do if a teen feels they are being stalked.
