The Klaas investigation pioneered techniques that were used in later high-profile cases. Her kidnapping and murder also escalated America’s culture of fear.
Though criminal justice reforms have emphasized rehabilitation over long sentences in recent years, for those convicted in harsher eras, second chances are hard to come by.The Klaas case also marked the first time an FBI profiler was embedded with an evidence response team. The profiler in Polly’s case worked side by side with the team to combine behavioral science with forensic science.
In 1996, the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children held the nation’s first child forensic interviewing clinic. A new kind of specialist emerged: child and adolescent forensic interviewers. Though they work closely with law enforcement agencies, these interviewers are typically civilians trained through an internationally recognized, research‑based curriculum developed by the National Children’s Advocacy Center.
Polly’s kidnapping also influenced changes outside of law enforcement. Suburban America was starting to feel unsafe, a trend that started before Polly Klaas and escalated after her death. “Stranger danger” — real and perceived — triggered a major shift in social behavior in the 1990s and beyond. Neighborhood parks and playgrounds began to see fewer kids. Families installed alarm systems or adopted a guard dog.
