This short video, one in a series of videos that address issues in the criminal justice system’s processing of cases under state stalking laws and the provision of services to stalking victims, explains the work of the federally funded Stalking Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center (SPARC).
In this video, the executive director of SPARC summarizes the mission and resources provided by SPARC.
