Two hundred arrests in four months. Since entering into force the bill on stalking in our country is no longer spent a day without that there were at least ten complaints. Region by region, city to city, the measure was signed by ministers and Alfano Carfagna - approved last February - has caused more or less everywhere the same effect: numerous reports to the judiciary and, in many cases, prison doors that open.
They range from 128 to 242 cases reported in the Lazio region of Lombardy, Abruzzo from 58 to 159 of Tuscany, for a total of nearly two hundred arrests: More than twenty percent of the offenders, among other things, is a woman. The bill, strongly backed by the Minister for Equal Opportunities and overwhelmingly approved by Parliament, has introduced into our law the crime of persistent harassment or "stalking." Among the measures is provided for imprisonment of up to four years, aggravating if the offense is committed against a former spouse or a child
, can prohibit the person found guilty, to get closer to the places where the victim lives or works. The measure passed, establishing that the offense is to "engage in threats, harassment or repeated acts with the victim such as to create a continuing state of anxiety or fear or a well founded fear for the safety of self or person bound by emotional relationship or constrains them to alter their lifestyle. " Many of the complaints concerned his first unwelcome phone calls or text messages, stalking and threats.
In a time when the subject "Harassment sexual 'is back on the agenda of political debate after the controversy surrounding the events of the judicial manager of Future, "Dino Boffo, and on the eve of the G8 to combat violence against women in the program next week at the MFA, the photograph the first cases of the crime of stalking in Italy shows that it is a phenomenon much more common than one might imagine. According to provisional data, processed by the police and coming until June 30, the region with more cases of stalking is Lombardy: 209 people reported and 17 arrests made. Below Tuscany with 158 complaints and 25 people arrested and, in fact, Lazio, with 126 cases and 11 persons translated into prison.
«L'introduzione del reato di stalking mette l'Italia al passo con i Paesi più avanzati del mondo che avevano già legiferato in proposito», aveva detto il ministro Carfagna subito dopo l'approvazione del disegno di legge. «La tutela delle vittime delle molestie insistenti è necessaria soprattutto per prevenire reati ben più gravi, come la violenza sessuale o gli omicidi passionali». Ora aggiunge: «I numeri dimostrano che c'era assoluto bisogno di questa legge». Per l'Osservatorio nazionale stalking, infatti, le molestie in un caso su due sono a opera di ex mariti, ex conviventi, ex fidanzati, ma possono essere compiute anche da conoscenti, colleghi o estranei.
Tornando alla mappatura, la Region with less stalkers appears to be at the moment, the Valle d'Aosta, only three cases up to June, only one arrest. Even in the South, the picture is more or less the same. It goes from 88 complaints in Calabria in 148 cases of Sicily. In next week's G8 summit, dedicated to the phenomenon of violence against women, there will be a full session on the phenomenon of stalking dropped in everyday life. Presiding over the debate on the Equal Opportunities Minister Bibiana Aido Almagro Spain: 32 years, among the younger members of the government and who recently produced a music video against the phenomenon of the rapes.
