New Collateral Consequences Database Available From the ABA

The Criminal Justice Section of the ABA (American Bar Association) recently completed an online database called the National Inventory of the Collateral Consequences of Conviction (NICCC). 

The database (available at http://www.abacollateralconsequences.org/map/) utilizes a user-friendly graphical interface which allows researchers to easily discover "federal and state laws and regulations that restrict employment, housing, and education benefits and other opportunities for people with convictions."  More information about the database is available here from the ABA. (H/t to the WisBlawg at the University of Wisconsin Law Library for their recent post on this topic.)

Interested in learning more about collateral consequences?  A chapter on this topic is available in The Law and Policy of Sentencing and Corrections in a Nutshell, available in the Law Library's Study Aids collection on the main floor of the Law Library.
