Utah Megan's Law

Getting its name from Megan Kanka, Megan's Law was put into federal law in 1995. Megans Law demands that every state put a method in place for informing the general public when a sexual offender is located in their neighborhood.
Megan was only seven years old when a previously convicted sex offender that lived accross the street from her family, abducted, violently rapped, and murdered her. It was decided that if her family or other community members had known that a convicted sexual predator was residing in their community, this crime would have been prevented. With that in mind, the U.S. Congress legislated the "Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994", nicknamed Megan's Law, without any objections.
Ever since the law has been passed, Utah has gone out of its way to protect its citizens the most recent information relevant to previous sex offenders and their current residency. The legislation has shown that while sexual offenses are still a occuring in the U.S., acts committed by prior offenders are on a decline.
