Illinois Megan's Law

Being named after Megan Kanka, Megan's Law was enacted into federal law in 1995. Megan's Law makes it mandatory for every state put a method in place for alerting the general public when a sexual offender is relocated into their area.
Megan was only seven years old when a previously convicted sex offender that was living accross the street from her family, kidnapped, violently rapped, and killed her. It was decided that if her family or other residents in the communtiy had known that a previous sexual predator was housed in their community, this heinous act could've been thwarted. On that train of thought, the U.S. Congress passed the "Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994", aka Megan's Law, without any objections.
Ever since the law has been put into effect, Illinois has made it a point to protect its public by providing the most current information relating to convicted sexual offenders and their current residency. The bill has proven that while sexual assaults are still a danger in this country, offenses committed by past offenders are on a regression.
The information accesible through the enactment of Megan's Law has continued to be a critical asset in keeping one's family safe from the threat of sexual misconduct.
