19/04/2021
It has been revealed that there were more than 500 reports of stalking in 2020 to Cumbria police.
The constabulary is supporting National Stalking Awareness Week, which starts today.
Figures for 2020 show that in Cumbria, there were 506 reported crimes of stalking.
Of those, 74 per cent were domestic related.
National developments in crime recording now allow for every incident of stalking to be recorded as an individual crime, meaning an incident of stalking could involve several crimes.
This week, Cumbria police will raise local awareness of stalking behaviours, encourage reporting and accessing support services.
Stalking behaviours include (but not exhaustive):
