“Megan’s Law” is the name for a 1996 federal law, and informal name for subsequent state laws, requiring law enforcement authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders. The law was named after 7-year old Megan Kanka, who was raped and murdered by a sex offender who lived in her neighborhood. Megan’s parents demanded legislative action and believed every parent should have the right to know if a sexual predator moves into their neighborhood.
A risk assessment determines what level sex offender an individual is based on a series of questions and point values. The purpose of the assessment is to try and gauge the offender’s likelihood of relapse into criminal behavior. There are three levels of sex offenders in Arizona ranging from a low of 1 to a high of 3. Level 1 offenders are not community notifiable by state statute and are considered to be a low risk to reoffend. Level 2 and level 3 sex offenders are community notifiable, with level 2 considered an intermediate risk and level 3 considered a high risk and most likely to reoffend.
This notification is not intended to cause fear; rather, it is believed that an informed community is a safer community.
