It depends on jurisdiction of course:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking#Laws_on_stalking

The most effective method of fighting stalking, cyber or real, is to
improve our coverage of these laws, including coverage on how
effective these laws have been.

The full text of any law or judicial decision can be placed onto
Wikisource, annotated and discussed, and translated into other
languages.  On en.WS, use {{PD-GovEdict}}.
