The Police watchdog's investigated the murder of Auckland student Farzana Yaqubi , eight weeks after she reported being harassed.
The IPCA's found the way Police assess stalking allegations, isn't fit-for-purpose.
It says they failed to link her complaint with a similar one from another young woman.
Police accept they should have acted sooner.
Coalition Chair, Leonie Morris, is urging the Justice Minister make stalking a criminal offence.
