Programs that help stalking or cyberstalking victims or people who are experiencing other forms of harassment obtain a restraining order in situations where the harasser is someone other than a close family member or part of the victim's household, e.g., a neighbor, roommate, friend the individual has never dated, coworker or more distant family member such as a cousin, uncle or aunt. A victim can qualify for a harassment order if the harasser has intentionally committed a series of acts that are frightening, annoying or harassing, and have caused the victim substantial emotional distress. Stalking orders and harassment orders (sometimes called "civil harassment orders") may be separate orders with different criteria or combined in a single order depending on the jurisdiction; and some may also include protection for individuals who have been sexually assaulted.
