Le verbe «traquer» traduit l'intensité de la poursuite et l'intention d'atteindre sa victime : deux traits essentiels du verbe anglais «stalk». Le verbe «poursuivre» est, quant à lui, l'équivalent utilisé dans le Projet de Loi C-390. Cette notion peut également se rendre par : «surveiller sans relâche», «épier», «rôder près de la maison», «faire le guet dans la rue». 1, record 1, French, - traquer
