Home | Criminal Law | Stalking or Intimidation
This is a relatively new offence created by s13 of the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007.
It requires either an intention to cause the relevant fear or recklessness as to inducement of such fear in the mind of the complainant, but the degree of recklessness is that required at common law for the offence of murder (s13(3)) in that what is required is the appreciation of the likelihood (as opposed to a mere possibility) that fear will be induced.
