Stalking has probably existed since the dawn of mankind, but it is only in the last few decades that this topic has appeared regularly in the psychiatric literature. It was not until 1989, when the actress Rebecca Schaeffer was murdered by a stalker, that the movement to create antistalking laws was initiated. The United States of America is leader of the stalking incrimination, while in Europe that is the United Kingdom. Stalking is a higher gender term that includes several actions such as stalking, intrusiveness, persecution and any other act that causes anxiety to the victim. In fact, we can define it by a number of unwanted, repeated and disturbing actions committed by one person towards a certain other person, most often an ex-partner. All legislations worldwide have certain resemblance in the definition of stalking, while the differences relate to the range of punishment, the relation with similar crimes and the standards developed in case law. Cyberstalking presents a major challenge to modern legislations due to its nature and the availability of the Internet. Stalking is a relatively new criminal offence located in the XIII. Chapter of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Croatia in the section of criminal offences against personal freedom. It was introduced into the Criminal Code on January 1. 2013. on the recommendation of the Council of Europe, which means that it has existed in Croatian criminal law for almost a decade.
