Has stalking as a crime increased over time or is it just society's new awareness of compulsive disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Answers may vary: The mass media brings intimate details of celebrity lives into homes everyday via news magazines and television shows. Such saturation may incite the mentally-ill stalkers obsession. On the other hand, the medical profession is much more aware of obsessive compulsive disorders and most stalkers harass those close to them, not a celebrity in Hollywood.
