New York is one of the states with a law that says stalking victims are compensated for security devices, counseling and other direct services. As Alexis Moore, an expert in stalking services, noted recently, many states and most organizations fail to offer direct services to victims of stalking. They limit their work to "awareness".
I have documented this ordeal in accessing the services New York that state law says crime victims are entitled to.
Many crime victims in New York are making efforts to bring these problems to the attention of lawmakers. Ken Zebrowski and Jack McEneny have been responsive and concerned.
It seems our work is never done. In many states, there are no direct services available for stalking victims, while in NY, the Crime Victims Board is failing to follow the laws on the books.
