If the punishment for stalking a second time is life in prison, then quite a few more stalkers will resort to murder since the punishment is the same.


I don't think that will happen. However if that's the case then we need close monitoring/full surveilance of first time offenders. Perhaps also additional requirements (i.e 1000 miles restraining order). Breaking the restraining order should put the offender automatically back in jail. I'm pretty sure we have tools to deal with stalkers. It's just that there seems to be no will to re-educate them.
