CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Raising awareness and encouraging prevention of stalking by urging the
establishment of January 2004 as National Stalking Awareness Month.

Whereas an estimated 1,006,970 women and 370,990 men are stalked annually in the
United States and, in the majority of such cases, the person is stalked
by someone who is not a stranger;
Whereas 81 percent of women who are stalked by an intimate partner are also
physically assaulted by that partner, and 76 percent of women who are
killed by an intimate partner were also stalked by that intimate
partner;
Whereas 26 percent of stalking victims lose time from work as a result of their
victimization and 7 percent never return to work;
Whereas stalking victims are forced to take drastic measures to protect
themselves, such as relocating, changing their address, changing their
identities, changing jobs, and obtaining protection orders;
Whereas stalking is a crime that cuts across race, culture, gender, age, sexual
orientation, physical and mental ability, and economic status;
Whereas stalking is a crime under Federal law and under the laws of all 50
States and the District of Columbia;
Whereas there are national organizations, local victim service organizations,
prosecutors' offices, and police departments that stand ready to assist
stalking victims and who are working diligently to craft competent,
thorough, and innovative responses to stalking;
Whereas there is a need to enhance the criminal justice system's response to
stalking and stalking victims, including aggressive investigation and
prosecution; and
Whereas Congress urges the establishment of January, 2004 as National Stalking
Awareness Month: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That--
(1) it is the sense of Congress that--
(A) National Stalking Awareness Month provides an
opportunity to educate the people of the United States
about stalking;
(B) all Americans should applaud the efforts of the
many victim service providers, police, prosecutors,
national and community organizations, and private
sector supporters for their efforts in promoting
awareness about stalking; and
(C) policymakers, criminal justice officials,
victim service and human service agencies, nonprofits,
and others should recognize the need to increase
awareness of stalking and availability of services for
stalking victims; and
(2) Congress urges national and community organizations,
businesses in the private sector, and the media to promote,
through National Stalking Awareness Month, awareness of the
crime of stalking.

Passed the Senate November 3, 2003.

Attest:

EMILY J. REYNOLDS,

Secretary.
