A separate stalking provision will be created, which will both criminalize and define stalking.

“Such a provision will send an important signal to victims and perpetrators that stalking is a serious crime in line with, for example, physical and psychological violence,” the proposal presented on Monday states.

The initiative has been named “Better help for victims of stalking.”
