Notes:	Provides a background to and analysis of stalking and stalking legislation in South Australia, utilising the six years of police and court records collated since the legislation was introduced. A brief summary of the legislation is also provided. The research review focuses on the number of stalking offences recorded by police, the number of offences cleared and the method of clearance. Attention is also directed towards victim and offender profiles, the nature of relationships between victims and offenders, and the outcomes of court cases involving stalking offences. Argues that, although, according to arrest and conviction rates, stalking appears to be relatively scarce, other factors such as police response and legislative impact could be relevant. Further, it is suggested that not only are victims predominantly female and perpetrators predominantly male, the majority of offenders are ex-partners or acquaintances of the victim.
