Sample text
Stalking is a crime of conduct and context, not necessarily words. For example, a stalker may send a note stating, "I love you" and enclose a bullet in the envelope. The credible threat made by the stalker must be against the safety of the victim or the victim's immediate family. " The language of the statute was changed in 1994, from a "threat of death or great bodily injury" to a "threat against a person's safety" to incorporate threats of sexual assault and kidnapping into the statute. The current test of " credible threat" is whether a reasonable person would fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her immediate family; whether the victim believed the suspect would carry out the threat; and whether the threat actually caused substantial emotional distress to the victim.
He then stated that he had been mistreated in prison, but that he had a friend on the outside who would help him take care of things. Hoskins then leaned toward the judge and told her that when he got out of prison, he was coming back to take care of everyone in the court. CONCLUSION Robert Hoskins, Robert Bardo, and Arthur Jackson are clear and dramatic examples of obsessed fans who were willing to commit acts of violence in order to narcissistically link (Meloy, 1996) their names forever with the names of their celebri W victims.
After her stalker had been convicted and sentenced to jail, a stalking victim once stated to me, "I have given up all hopes of ever having a safe life. " Incarceration is not a defense to stalking. Many stalkers, such as Arthur Jackson, while in jail or prison, will continue to send letters or make phone calls to their victims. N e w charges of stalking can be filed against them, and telephone and mail privileges can be restricted. The inmate could also lose " g o o d - t i m e / work-time" credits toward an earlier release date.
