Ruth Money: Victim advocate on new anti-stalking bill

Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

A prison sentence of up to five years could soon be handed down to those convicted of stalking. A new anti-stalking bill will be introduced to Parliament by the end of the year. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says it applies to patterns of behaviour -- specifically, three acts taking place within a 12 month period. Goldsmith says there needs to be a threshold an offender will have to cross, and there needs to be a clear message that stalking won't be tolerated and will come with consequences. Independent Victim Advocate Ruth Money joins Kerre Woodham with more.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
