An Illustration of a Case Without the Stalking Act
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.
An Illustration of Stalking Intent
Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.

might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.

Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.

Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.

Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.

threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.
An Illustration of Stalking Intent
Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his

Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.

Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or

many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.
An Illustration of Stalking Intent
Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.

once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.

danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.
An Illustration of Stalking Intent
Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot

secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.

Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.

"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions

necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.
An Illustration of Stalking Intent
Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are

Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.

cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.

Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.

Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.

her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.
An Illustration of Stalking Intent
Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.

Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
An illustration of a stalking act
Modify Section 10's example so that Elliot confesses his love for Lisa only
once. Lisa scowls and turns to go. After that, Elliot stalks Lisa and threatens to
"make her pay" for her lack of love. Ignoring Elliot's statement, Lisa gets into
her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.

Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.

her car and leaves. Elliot rings Lisa's doorbell later that night. Instead of
answering the door, Lisa screamed at Elliot to get out. Elliot uses his
pocketknife to etch the words "you will die for not loving me" into Lisa's front
door out of frustration and rage. In the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot's actions
might qualify as the criminal act component needed for stalking. Elliot has
followed Lisa and contacted her in this instance, which is a pattern of behavior.
Elliot threatened Lisa twice: once by threatening to "make her pay" and
secondly by leaving a death threat carved into her front door. Remember that in
many areas, Elliot's threat to Lisa's safety needs to be believable. Therefore, the
fact-finder may conclude that Elliot lacks the apparent capacity to fulfill his
threat and he cannot be found guilty of stalking if he is unable to hurt Lisa in
any way.
An Illustration of Stalking Intent
Examine Section 10's example of the stalking act. In most jurisdictions, Elliot
must intentionally or deliberately etch the menacing remark and message into
Lisa's front door. Nevertheless, depending on the jurisdiction, Elliot may not
have to have acted with the intention of causing Lisa to react in this way. In
many jurisdictions, Elliot must have acted specifically with the intention of
causing Lisa to experience harm from stalking, which is typically a fear for
Lisa's property, family members' safety, or her own safety. In other cases, Elliot
may intentionally, carelessly, or negligently act in a way that makes Lisa feel
afraid. In certain jurisdictions, strict responsibility is the intent underlying the
injury or negative consequences requirement, therefore Elliot's intention or
awareness of Lisa's anxiety is irrelevant.
Two different times, Elliot declares his love for Lisa. Lisa despises Elliot and is
unwilling to interact with him. Even though Elliot's declarations of love are
unwanted, it is unlikely that he has committed the element of a criminal act
necessary for stalking. Lisa, her family members, or her property are not in
danger due to Elliot's actions. Therefore, in the majority of jurisdictions, Elliot
cannot be accused of stalking and found guilty.
