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."
