Daniel talks to Dave Beatty of the National Victim Center and Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Rhonda Saunders about stalking laws. In the past 25 months, many states have adopted statewide stalking laws, making it easier for law enforcement agencies to take action.

According to the National Victim Center, currently 200,000 Americans are being stalked. For more information on victim centers in your area call the National Victims Center at 1-800-FYI-CALL.
