Question

Which state enacted the first anti-stalking statute? Have other states passed anti-stalking laws?

Answer 1

California enacted the first anti-stalking statute in 1990. This legislation was a response to growing concerns about stalking behavior and its impact on victims. Following California's lead, many other states have passed their own anti-stalking laws to address and penalize such behavior. As of now, all U.S. states have some form of anti-stalking legislation, reflecting the seriousness of this issue and the need to protect individuals from harassment and threats.
