Stalking: State Of Fear

Catch up on ITVX here

This new documentary speaks to the victims of stalkers about how being targeted has destroyed their lives, and how some women under threat are taking on the criminal justice system to hold the culprits to account.

Part of ITV's Bafta-winning Exposure current affairs strand, the documentary features exclusive access to stalking victims, along with the family of Gracie Spinks, who was murdered by her stalker, this documentary also includes 999 calls and police interview footage to paint a vivid picture of the situation.

Women tell the programme how hard it can be to get the police to take them seriously, with only one in 20 reports leading to a conviction, and the documentary asks if the justice system is prepared to take stalking more seriously while victims feel abandoned by a process that’s supposed to protect them.
