Comparing campaigns for change

Comparing campaigns for change I am going to compare different campaigns and assess the similarities and differences between each one. Sarah’s law: This allowed parents, carers and guardians to formally ask the police to tell them if someone has a record of child sexual offences. It was developed to protect children. It was developed in consultation with Sara Payne, whose eight year old daughter Sarah was murdered by a convicted paedophile. Sarah, who lived in Hersham, Surrey, disappeared on the evening of July 1st 2000 from a cornfield near the home of her paternal grandparents, Terence and Lesley Payne, in Kingston Gorse, West Sussex where she had disappeared. A body was found on July 17th 2000 in a field near Pulborough, some 15 miles from Kingston Gorse where she had disappeared. It was confirmed Sarah. Roy Whiting was convicted of the abduction and murder of Sarah on December 12th 2001 and sentenced to life imprisonment. Whiting had previously abducted and sexually assaulted an eight year old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and was sentenced for four years in prison. Ms Payne campaigned in support of bringing in a scheme similar to Megan’s Law in the US, which allows every parent in the country to know if dangerous offenders are living in their area.
