Offenders face a variety of collateral consequences as well as considerable social stigma as a result of a criminal conviction
Should former criminals face social stigma and/or legal disability? Is there a distinction between the way in which convicted felons and those convicted of misdemeanors and lesser offenses should be treated by society?
Answers will vary, but may address the various social disadvantages attached to having a criminal record, such as the loss of civil rights and reduced access to employment and other rights and privileges enjoyed by those without criminal backgrounds. Answers should include a discussion of whether offenders should face stigma and legal disability and provide explanation and support. Answers also should discuss whether felony and misdemeanor offenders should receive different treatment and provide support for the response.
