Tema ovog rada je zakonski prikaz i analiza kaznenog djela nametljivog ponašanja. Kazneno djelo nametljivog ponašanja sadržano je u članku 140. Kaznenog zakona te je u naše kazneno zakonodavstvo uvedeno tek 2013. godine na preporuku Vijeća Europe. Rad započinje pregledom razvoja pojma nametljivog ponašanja poznatog pod nazivom stalking u komparativnim zakonodavstvima i prikazom njegove postupne kriminalizacije. Detaljno se analiziraju i definiraju svi pojedini elementi i pojmovi koji tvore definiciju nametljivog ponašanja i koji moraju biti ispunjeni prema zakonskim normama kojima se inkriminira nametljivo ponašanje, te opisuje modus operandi počinitelja kaznenog djela. Nadalje, opisuje se psihološki profil počinitelja tog kaznenog djela i statistike o njegovoj rasprostranjenosti, profilu žrtava, uzrocima i posljedicama nametljivog ponašanja. Iznijeti su primjeri iz sudske prakse koje zasad nema mnogo. Posebna pozornost pridana je problemu nametljivog ponašanja kroz sferu obiteljskog nasilja obzirom da je najučestalije od svih pojavnih oblika. Rad detaljno iznosi načine istraživanja ovog kaznenog djela i analizira propuste u sustavu sankcioniranja osuđenika u kaznenom postupku.The subject of this paper is the legal view and analysis of the criminal offence of the criminal harrasment and stalking.
