NIJ FY 09 ORE Collateral Consequences

Consonant with Section 510 of the Court Security Improvement Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-177), NIJ is soliciting proposals for a national study that will provide a comprehensive compilation of Federal and State collateral consequences for criminal convictions. The purpose of this research is to inform and improve criminal justice policy and practice by providing policymakers with the information they need to understand the legal and regulatory barriers that may affect successful offender reentry into the community.
