Abstract:
|
The purpose of this research was to gauge the knowledge and perceptions of Megan’s Law among pre-criminal justice lower division students and criminal justice upper division students enrolled at Sacramento State University. Using a simple random sampling procedure of two criminal justice courses, 218 college students completed a self-administered survey. Although the results were mixed, it was found that both pre-criminal justice and criminal justice students have some knowledge of Megan’s Law, as well as have punitive views of Megan’s Law and sexual offenders. |
