I wish the authorities will do something to lessen this number of victims. Maybe it will help if the public will be informed and campaigns against violence will increase the awareness. Perhaps it will help that the victims will inform the police so that they could carry permit or avail restraining order against the stalker or the suspect. In that way, crimes could be prevented and victims would be saved.
