- W189702945 abstract "[The stalking makes me] mad, hurt, hate - I feel hate, I feel rage, I feel disgust. I feel like screaming. I just get aggravated. I don't feel like a real person, I feel like a robot. I feel like I have to speak, and I have to look, and I have to dress, and I have to walk the way he wants me to. Not the way I want to. ' I. INTRODUCTION Although stalking has sometimes been portrayed on the cinema screen as romantic and appealing, in reality is a crime of terror.2 As Neal Miller describes, it is one part threat and one part waiting for the threat to be carried out.3 The development of stalking laws in the United States and Texas has been remarkably short, yet encouragingly fast. Texas, however, remains one of a trio of states that does not address stalking in its protective order legislation. While the devastating impact of stalking on victims and society as a whole is well known, Texas has fallen behind the national trend of states assisting stalking victims within their borders. Despite having progressed more slowly than other states, Texas still has the opportunity to draft a focused and comprehensive statute creating stalking protective orders. This paper argues that the Texas Legislature should enact a bill authorizing stalking protective orders. Part I provides an overview of stalking in the United States, the relation of stalking to violence, and the use of protective orders as a legal response to both crimes. Part II surveys current stalking protective orders in the United States and features an in-depth case study of Oregon, which demonstrates how one state passed and subsequently interpreted its stalking protective order law. Part III focuses on stalking and protective orders as they exist in Texas, and reveals the urgency and feasibility of legislating stalking protective orders. Finally, Part IV is comprised of eleven recommendations divided into three categories: (1) strategies to make stalking protective orders in Texas a reality; (2) enhancements to the protective order process; and (3) improvements to the enforcement and effectiveness of protective orders. These recommendations are the heart of this paper, and are deliberately forward-looking in that they assume stalking protective order legislation will be enacted in the near future. II. STALKING IN THE UNITED STATES: A GREM PICTURE According to the U.S. Department of Justice, an estimated 3.4 million people are stalked annually in the United States.4 At least one in twelve American women and one in forty-five American men will be stalked at some point in their lives.5 These domestic terrorists use violence and threats of violence to subjugate and torment their victims in their quest for power and control.6 Almost half of the victims (45.5%) were stalked at least once a week.7 Although stalking can affect both women and men, most (78%) of stalking victims are women, and 74% of these women are between the ages of eighteen and thirty-nine.8 This high percentage shows that stalking of young women is especially severe. The sexual victimization of college students is also quite prevalent.9 The combination of many young adults working, living, and interacting in a relatively cloistered and confined physical space such as a college campus with potentially immature views of relationships can produce unhealthy relationships and modes of communication. Extrapolating from previous studies on college students, Patricia Tjaden estimates that between 21% and 26% of women attending postsecondary institutions are stalked each year, a figure which is twenty-five times greater than that found in the national study she conducted in 1998.10 Stalking on campus is not limited to student-student interactions, but also includes student-instructor relationships.11 With the proliferation of cheap technology that allows instantaneous tracking and monitoring of victims, the frequency of cyberstalking has risen dramatically. …" @default.
