A helpline for the UK has been set up to help victims of stalking, the service is funded by the home office and private donations. It was created to tackle the estimated 2 million victims of stalking. Before the helpline it is believed that victims wouldn't report being stalked to the police because of fears they would be ignored.
"At the time of the shooting in Knightsbridge, Michael Pech was awaiting sentencing after admitting harassment.
The confidential helpline will have one number for callers anywhere in the UK and there will be a single point of contact in every police force.
The service will be run by Protection Against Stalking, formerly the CRT Trust, the charity Mrs Bernal helped to start in 2008, in collaboration with the Suzy Lamplugh Trust and Network for Surviving Stalking." -BBC
