Criminal Harassments

Threatening or harassing you or someone you know can be a criminal offence. Another word used for this type of crime is stalking.  Criminal harassment is when someone makes you fear for your or a family member’s safety by:

  • repeatedly following you or someone you know;
  • repeatedly communicating with you or someone you know;
  • continuously waiting for you outside your home, work or other place; or
  • engaging in threatening behaviour against you or someone in your family.
