FEATURED NEWS


Krystia Reed, J.D., Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at The University of Texas at El Paso, led a study published in the journal Psychology, Public Policy, and Law, which found that eponymous bills – those named for victims – receive more public backing than identical bills without a name or story.

EL PASO, Texas (Feb. 24, 2026) – When lawmakers name bills after victims of tragedy – think Megan’s Law or the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 – public support surges, but this emotional boost may come at the expense of sound policymaking, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
