Utah Megan's Law

Being named after Megan Kanka, Megan's Law was passed into federal law in 1995. Megans Law requires that each state develop a procedure for alerting the public when a sexual offender is relocated into their neighborhood.
Megan was only seven years old when a prior sex offender that resided accross the street from her family, kidnapped, rapped, and murdered her. It was determined that if her family or other local residents had been aware that a previous sexual offender was housed in their community, this crime would've been prevented. With those thoughts, the U.S. Congress enacted the "Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994", aka Megan's Law, without any resistance.
Ever since the law has been passed, Utah has strived to protect its citizens the most current information regarding past sexual offenders and their current residency. The legislation has proven that while sexual offenses are still a problem in this country, acts committed by past offenders are on a decline.
