In 1990, following a number of high-profile celebrity cases, the U.S. introduced the world's first anti-stalking laws; Canada followed in 1993, amending our Criminal Code to make stalking a crime. Ever anxious to cash in on a 'new' social phenomenon, Hollywood has since exposed us to the sheer terror felt by victims through such films as One Hour Photo, Sleeping with the Enemy and The Fan."
