The California
statute is codified at Cal. Penal Code § 646.9. See generally, Tatia Jordan, The
Efficacy of the California Stalking Law: surveying its evolution, extracting
insights from domestic violence cases, 6 Hastings Womens L.J. 363 (1995).
Most recently, there has been concern about the applicability of stalking
statutes to Internet use. While a number of states have explicitly defined
stalking to include electronic stalking (e.g., California), only North Carolina
has enacted a separate cyberstalking crime law, N.C. Gen. Stat. 14-196.3.
