Criminal Practice Division Title: Report on Implementation of Megan's Law Summary: The Criminal Practice Division of New Jersey’s Administrative Office of the Courts today released a report summarizing, through March 1, 2001, the implementation of the Registration and Community Notification Law, commonly referred to as Megan’s Law. In 1995, the New Jersey Supreme Court, in Doe v. Poritz, upheld the constitutionality of Megan’s Law, but mandated judicial review of prosecutorial decisions relating to community notification. The Court also called for an annual report on the implementation of the law. The report outlines the history of legal challenges to Megan’s Law that followed the N.J. Supreme Court decision. The issuance of this report was delayed until all challenges had been resolved and the data on notification could be compiled and presented in a uniform manner. As of March 1, 2001, 7,605 individuals had registered, as required by Megan’s Law, with the New Jersey State Police. Information on 7,273 of those registrants had been entered into the Administrative Office of the Courts’ Megan’s Law Case Tracking System by March 31, and of those, 5,270 registrants had been assigned tiers for community notification. The report shows that 2,388, or 42 percent, of registrants had been assigned a tier 1 (low-risk) classification, requiring local law enforcement to be notified of a registrant’s presence in a community. Fifty-two percent, or 3,007 registrants had been assigned a tier 2 (moderate-risk) classification, requiring notification to law enforcement, schools and certain community organizations. A tier 3 (high-risk) classification, requiring notification to all of the tier 2 groups, plus members of the public likely to encounter the registrant, had been assigned to 325, or six percent of registrants. The report provides an explanation of the criteria used in assigning risk tiers, and outlines the steps in the process of determining a registrant’s tier. It provides data about the implementation of Megan’s Law beginning with offender registration and through tier determination by the prosecutor; opportunities for the registrant to object to the tier assignment; judicial review of tier assignments; and community notification.
