One difficulty in comparing crime gradings is the lack of uniformity among the state stalking laws in defining stalking. While most states require a threat to be made as an element of the crime, not all do so. In a few states, the term stalking encompasses both types of stalking, with non-threatening stalking a misdemeanor and the same behavior with a threat to be aggravated stalking, a felony. See, Fla. Stat. Ann. § 784.048; Mo. Rev. Stat. § 565.225; Nev. Rev. Stat. § 200.575; Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2903.211. Also compare Mich. Comp. L. § 750.411h (stalking) with § 750.411I (aggravated stalking).
