Watch Narita Bahra KC on ITV1’s Stalking: The State Of Fear.

About the ITV Documentary

This new documentary speaks to the victims of stalkers about how being targeted has destroyed their lives, and how some women under threat are taking on the criminal justice system to hold the culprits to account.

Part of ITV’s Bafta-winning Exposure current affairs strand, the documentary features exclusive access to stalking victims, along with the family of Gracie Spinks, who was murdered by her stalker. This documentary also includes 999 calls and police interview footage to paint a vivid picture of the situation.

Women tell the programme how hard it can be to get the police to take them seriously, with only one in 20 reports leading to a conviction. The documentary asks if the justice system is prepared to take stalking more seriously while victims feel abandoned by a process that’s supposed to protect them.

Gracie Spinks’ Inquest

The Home Secretary Rt Hon James Cleverly MP and the Chief Constable of the Derbyshire Constabulary have confirmed they will take steps to act upon the Prevention of Future Deaths Reports emanating from the conclusions of the Gracie Spinks inquest.

A focussed, practical and effective change in the policing of Stalking and Harassment across the Nationwide is promised. The Home Office and Police taking an initial step towards implementing the proposals in the carefully drafted Prevention of Future Deaths Report should be viewed as a positive development.

Gracie Spinks’ family was represented by Narita Bahra KC & Rachel Ferrari, 33 Chancery Lane, instructed by Sajad Chaudhury of Harewood Law.
