L’indagine psichiatrico forense sulla vittima di stalking: dagli atti persecutori al danno psichico
The ongoing infringement of personal freedom which takes place in cases of
stalking can lead to psychological reactions in victims that might even determine
psychopathological disturbances requiring proper medico-legal evaluation.
Such repeated, intrusive, undesired behaviours have recently been defined by
Law 23rd of April 2009, n. 38, which has introduced in the penal code the offence
of “persecutory acts”.
We are going to discuss the aspects relating to forensic psychiatry of this new penal
offence, starting from the analysis of recent verdicts concerning the compensation
of non pecuniary losses in a medico-legal light. Afterwards we are going to analyze
the methodologic-evaluative prospects of the psychic damage consequent to
stalking.
We underline the fact that the true crux of the matter is to collect and analyze
all information about the negative consequences deriving from the offence, elucidating
their seriousness and their compatibility with the harm experienced by the
victim.
The forensic psychiatrist can often rule out real psychological consequences in
the stalking victim, yet he is able to find and describe alterations in the area of feelings
and emotions which constitute a damage and a limit to the plaintiff’s possibilities
to freely live his / her life.
The cogency which is proper of legal medicine and, in particular, of forensic
psychiatry, will lead the technical adviser to adequately advise the judge as to make
it possible for him/her to get to an objective evaluation of the harm suffered by the
victim of persecutory acts
