Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Acting Associate Professor of the Department of Law D.B. Kalmaganbekova conducted a tutorial hour with group B-Yur 25/1 of the "Jurisprudence" educational programme on the topic of stalking — obsessive and unwanted attention that causes fear or anxiety in the victim. Special attention was devoted to the legal dimension: administrative and criminal liability, protective orders, potential fines, corrective labour, and imprisonment. Students discussed the primary forms of stalking: persistent calls and messages, surveillance, cyberstalking, and the collection of personal information through acquaintances. The academic advisor explained the legal aspects: administrative and criminal liability, protective orders, and potential consequences for violators — ranging from fines and corrective labour to restriction of liberty. Particular emphasis was placed on the fact that a "digital footprint" and witness testimony render prosecution evidentially viable. Students received practical recommendations on self-protection: documenting instances of harassment, informing relatives and their academic advisor, refraining from confrontation, and contacting the police if necessary. In conclusion, the advisor emphasized that awareness and timely action are the keys to safety, and that the university must remain a territory free from psychological violence.
