Jordan contends that although things have improved, the criminal justice system remains too male-dominated to fully empathize with stalking victims.
“the biggest problem, I would argue, is that the criminal justice system is still extremely male dominated”

Jordan says state anti-stalking laws differ greatly, are often vague, and many are outdated regarding cyberstalking.
