What is Stalking

In Kansas, as in most other states, stalking is a crime. Criminal stalking is engaging in “a course of conduct targeted at a specific person which could cause a reasonable person to fear for such person’s immediate family and the targeted person is actually placed in such fear”. K.S.A. 21-3438

“Stalking” is defined differently for purposes of the Kansas Protection from Stalking act. Under this Act, “stalking” is the “intentional harassment of another person that places the other person in reasonable fear for that person’s safety”. K.S.A. 60-31a01 et. seq.
