New powers to protect stalking victims are not being used by police, a BBC Wales investigation has found.
In January 2020, stalking protection orders were introduced to make it easier for victims to get support.
But since then only two full orders have been granted in Wales despite 3,000 stalking offences being reported to police.
All four Welsh police forces have been asked to comment on the findings by Eye on Wales.
The data also shows all four forces in Wales have made an application for an order to the courts, or currently have a application pending on behalf of victims.

New research conducted at the UNESCO World Heritage listed Plain of Jars in Laos has established the stone jars were likely placed in their final resting position from as early as 1240 to 660 BCE.
Sediment samples from beneath stone jars from two of the more than 120 recorded megalithic sites were obtained by a team led Dr Louise Shewan from the University of Melbourne, Associate Professor Dougald O Reilly from the Australian National University (ANU) and Dr Thonglith Luangkoth from the Lao Department of Heritage.
