Stalking cases in England and Wales have surged by 4,600% in a decade, with London leading the rise. Last year, police recorded 135,000 offenses, up from 3,000 a decade ago. Women are disproportionately affected, with 73% of victims being female. The Suzy Lamplugh Trust warns that stalking is often overlooked in cases linked to homicides and suicides. Croydon, Lewisham, Newham, Tower Hamlets, and Ealing are the London boroughs with the highest reported cases. The spike in stalking incidents, which has persisted even after lockdowns lifted, demands immediate action to protect communities.
