Abstract	This thesis presents an exploratory assessment of the public safety potential of Megan's Law in Connecticut if a proactive notification system were instituted. Secondary data were used for 1,761 Connecticut Department of Correction incarcerated offenders who are sex offender registry eligible. Of those incarcerated offenders, 100 would have been eligible for the Connecticut sex offender registry before their most recent sex related crime. Of the 100 offenders who would have been eligible for the registry, 21 committed a stranger-predatory sex offense with the remaining 79 offending against family, friends, or coworkers. Assuming a flawless system of registration and notification, proactive notifications may have potentially reached 9 of the 21 stranger-predatory victims.
