===Analysis===
Stalking [[wikipedia:Stalking#United_States_2|was legal in the USA]] until the 90's.
{{quote|The first state to criminalize stalking in the United States was California in 1990[51] as a result of numerous high-profile stalking cases in California, including the 1982 attempted murder of actress Theresa Saldana,[52] the 1988 massacre by Richard Farley,[53] the 1989 murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer,[54] and five Orange County stalking murders, also in 1989.


Section 264 of the Criminal Code of Canada, titled "criminal harassment",[38] addresses acts which are termed "stalking" in many other jurisdictions. The provisions of the section came into force in August 1993 with the intent of further strengthening laws protecting women.
Emily Hilscher felt "stalked" which led to a restraining order against Cho. The restraining order against him is probably the reason Cho shot Hilscher in the dorm room. There was a similar case of a restraining order leading to a shooting.
 
Every Australian state enacted laws prohibiting stalking during the 1990s, with Queensland being the first state to do so in 1994.|Wikipedia}}
The first anti-stalking laws were written in response to several murders of famous actresses by stalkers.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking#United_States_2]
 
Before the 90's, when stalking was legal, stalking didn't seem more prevalent. Stalking is also subjective. Virtually any "unwanted" contact between two persons is considered "stalking." "Stalking" does not need to be sexual. For example, a heated conflict could be considered "stalking" if one party walks away and the other party continues to argue.  


Emily Hilscher felt "stalked" which led to a restraining order against Cho. The restraining order against him is probably the reason Cho shot Hilscher in the dorm room. There was a similar case of a restraining order leading to a shooting.
