Stalking was made a specific criminal offence in England and Wales in 2012. However, from 20th January 2020, police will be able to apply to magistrates for a “Stalking Protection Order (SPO)” and courts will also have the power to impose an interim Stalking Protection Order to provide immediate protection for a victim while a decision is being made.

He was at home more and usually did all the cooking for the children. He insisted on doing it anyway, at all times.
