acoso/acecho (ilícito) Explanation: En español, hace falta distinguir si el acecho es una acción o una figura penal. Según An English-Spanish Dictionary of Criminal Law and Procedure: stalking 1. (crime) persecución ilícita, acecho ilícito. Delito consistente en perseguir a una persona, o merodear cerca de ella, a menudo de forma clandestina, para molestarla, acosarla o someterla a una acción con fines delictivos. 2. (act) persecución sigilosa, persecución, acecho sigiloso, acecho. Acción y efecto de perseguir a una persona sigilosamente. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 days (2021-03-16 16:43:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Puede ser que stalking tenga que ver con violencia de género, violaciones y agresiones sexuales, pero no son elementos necesarios del tipo penal norteamericano que no tiene equivalente funcional en el derecho español o latinoamericano. |

| Reference: Stalking Reference information: Stalking Criminal activity consisting of the repeated following and harassing of another person.Stalking is a distinctive form of criminal activity composed of a series of actions that taken individually might constitute legal behavior. For example, sending flowers, writing love notes, and waiting for someone outside her place of work are actions that, on their own, are not criminal. When these actions are coupled with an intent to instill fear or injury, however, they may constitute a pattern of behavior that is illegal. Though anti-stalking laws are gender neutral, most stalkers are men and most victims are women. Stalking first attracted widespread public concern when a young actress named Rebecca Shaeffer, who was living in California, was shot to death by an obsessed fan who had stalked her for two years. The case drew extensive media coverage and revealed how widespread a problem stalking was to both celebrity and noncelebrity victims. Until the enactment of anti-stalking laws, police had little power to arrest someone who behaved in a threatening but legal way. https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/stalking No parece que "stalking" sea simplemente merodear. |
