What to look for on Smart Talk Tuesday, March 29, 2016:
Go to the Pennsylvania State Police website and you can find a link to Megan’s Law website — a list of convicted sex crime offenders. The list includes photographs of the criminal, his or her current address and the crime the person was convicted of.
Those on the list must register for 15 years up to the rest of their lives for offenses ranging from luring a child to rape.
When an offender relocates, the victim, neighbors, county and others are informed.
The idea behind the Megan’s Law website is that the information will help to keep the offender from committing another sex crime.
But does it work?
