 Through a grant from the U.S. Department of
Justice, Office of Programs, Bureau of Justice
Statistics, External Affairs and The Justice
Education Center, Inc. have written and produced
a video on Megan's Law. External Affairs also
produced a booklet on Megan's Law in
collaboration with the Department of Public
Safety, the Board of Parole, the Connecticut
Sexual Assault Crisis Services, Inc. and
Connections, Inc.
The Megan's Law
video follows a family that discovers a sex
offender has moved into the neighborhood. The
video follows the family as they learn about the
information and guidance that is available to
them to deal with the situation. In a scene
featuring the couple and their daughter, the
video offers suggestions on how parents can
discuss the subject with their children.
The booklet
offers in-depth information, definitions and
statistics on child sexual abuse, sex offenders,
date/acquaintance rape and other related
material. It also offers guidelines for parents
on matters such as how to talk to their children
about sexual abuse, where to obtain further
information or how to report such abuse.
