LinksAustralian legislative responses to stalking
http://www.aic.gov.au/conferences/stalking/Urbas.pdf
Each Australian State and Territory has its own stalking laws. Even though these have been in operation for only a relatively short time, several jurisdictions have already found it necessary to amend their legislation following criticisms by prosecutors, judges and victims’ groups. This paper compares the distinctive features of the various legislative approaches and assesses prospects for convergence in the light of these amendments.

THE DUTCH APPROACH TO STALKING LAWS
http://boalt.org/CCLR/v3/v3royakkers.PDF
A conceptual analysis demonstrates that the major flaw with the American legal definition of stalking is its requirement of an implicit or explicit threat that results in the victim’s reasonable fear for his or her safety. Consequently, most victims of stalking – who are not threatened – remain unprotected by these anti-stalking statutes. In contrast, the Dutch anti-stalking statute covers these victims by including the violation of one’s private life as an element of the crime. The Dutch
regulation, by focusing on the disruption of someone’s life, enhances the ability of law enforcement and prosecutors to intervene and protect stalking victims at the earliest time, before threats occur.

In the Campus Shadows, Women Are Stalkers as Well as the Stalked
http://chronicle.com/free/v47/i15/15a04001.htm
They only kissed twice. To the other freshmen in the Central Michigan University dormitory, the relationship didn't look like much. Nothing that would explain the incessant calls that later came to the room and on the pager. The hang-ups. The watching through the peephole of the dorm-room door. Police officers would call it a clear-cut case of stalking. What might seem unusual about this story, however, is that the victim was a man.
