Privacy, the right to be left alone. Privacy includes both freedom and government interference in private or family matters and confidentiality of such things as personal correespondence, telephone calls, financial information, and medical histories. Courts in recent years have recognized a right to privacy implicit in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, but there are concerns that privacy may be eroded by the widespread use of advanced information technologies. This is the definition of privacy, but should everything be kept private from those people who it could hurt or kill. The real question is should those people who are commited sexual affenders have the right to keep it private from the rest for their neighboring communities, communities where the act could occur again.
             In 1994 there was a tragic slaying of a young girl named Megan Kanka in New Jersey. This was a tragedy that could have been avoided if those people in the community were informed that they had a repeted sexual offender living amung them. Informing the people could have made them aware of the possible dangers in the community, and made their children aware of the hidden dangers.
             The topic I chose to write about in this paper is Megans Law. It is a law that allows those communities surrounding a convicted sexual offender aware of their presence. It allows the community to know about the act the person had commited and allows then to take the precautions of informing their children of the dangers in the community.
