Spotlighting new research and realities at the Collateral Consequences Resource Center

As regular readers know, I have made a habit of noting here some posts from the Collateral Consequences Resource Center because the topics covered there are so interesting and get so little attention in the mainstream media (or many other places in the blogosphere).  In addition, I have noted lately an uptick of important empirical research and scholarly analysis of issues related to collateral consequences, and CCRC is effectively covering this important and encouraging new trend.  Against that backdrop, here is a sampling of some recent posts of note from CCRC:

• California set-aside enhances employment prospects

• New national study finds ban-the-box policies generally effective

• District of Columbia clemency authority sought

• Collateral consequences scholarship round-up

• “Ants under the refrigerator”

• How effective are judicial certificates in relieving collateral consequences?
