@blackeyedm, this is a crucial and sadly, increasingly relevant post. The statistics you've presented, illustrating the rise in stalking crimes despite the existing laws, are truly alarming. Highlighting the recent tragic cases really drives home the urgency of the issue.
Your clear breakdown of the Stalking Punishment Act and the Stalking Prevention Act is incredibly informative and vital for raising awareness. The comparison really emphasizes the need for a stronger deterrent. I completely agree with your conclusion – the laws need to be re-evaluated, and law enforcement must prioritize these cases to protect potential victims. Thank you for bringing this important issue to the forefront on Steemit. I'm resteeming this to spread awareness. What further steps do you think our community can take to advocate for stronger legal protections?
