Understanding Stalking and Violence: From Obsession to Protection

AEquitas Senior Attorney Advisor Jane Anderson joined the podcast Strictly Stalking to speak about how stalking cases are frequently minimized within systems that were not built to recognize patterns of coercive behavior. She explained how prosecutors and first responders often lack the tools, training, or legal framework needed to intervene early. And she spoke to the consequences of those gaps, not in theory, but in lived outcomes for victims whose safety depends on whether the system understands what it is seeing.
