New Mexico Megan's Law
Being named after Megan Kanka, Megan's Law was passed into federal law in 1995. Megan's Law makes it mandatory for each state
put a method in place for informing the public when a sexual offender is relocated into their area.
Megan was just seven years old when a previous sexual offender that lived accross the street from her family, kidnapped,
rapped, and killed her. It was determined that had her family or other local residents had been alerted that a convicted
sexual offender was residing in their community, this heinous act would have been thwarted. With that in mind, the U.S. Congress
legislated the "Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994", also known as Megan's Law, without any protests.
Since the law has been enacted, New Mexico has gone out of its way to protect its supplying the most recent information
relating to convicted sex offenders and their whereabouts. The law has shown that though sex crimes are still a
occuring in the United States, crimes committed by prior offenders are on a regression.
