Abstract
Prior to the vicious sexual assault and murder of young Megan Kanka, citizens were unable to search for convicted sex offenders who lived in or nearby their neighborhoods. While sex offenders were mandated to register with their local law enforcement agency, it was not until the year after Megan Kanka's murder that information through the sex offender registration became accessible to the public. Megan's Law, an act named after the young girl to honor her memory, was established in 1995 and required that all sex offender registration information be available to individuals across the United States. The purpose of Megan's Law is to ensure the safety of both children and adults and notify the public about the location of convicted sex offenders.
