Relief
From The Collateral Consequences Of A Criminal Conviction:
A State-By-State Resource Guide
By Margaret Colgate Love,
July 2005.
This
in-depth and comprehensive survey of each
United States jurisdiction
reviews the laws
and practices of
restoration of rights for people with a criminal conviction.
According to Love, "... it illustrates the extraordinary
variety and complexity of state and federal laws that
impose a continuing burden on convicted persons long
after the court-imposed sentence has been fully discharged.
It is an important resource for policymakers interested
in offender reentry and reintegration, for practitioners
at all levels of the criminal justice system, and for
people with a criminal record who are seeking to put
their past behind them."
