Specifies that such order shall remain in effect for such time as the court deems necessary, and may be modified, extended, or terminated at any time after notice to the victim and opportunity for a hearing. Redefines "crime of violence" to permit a court to order the detention of an alleged stalking defendant pending trial in order to assure the safety of the community or the defendant's appearance at trial pursuant to the pretrial detention statute.
