There are Many Consequences of a Criminal Conviction
When people are convicted of a crime, they are usually worried about going to jail or prison. They may also wonder how they are going to afford their fines. However, there are many consequences of a criminal conviction that may not occur to people until they are dealing with them. There is even a name for this: collateral consequences. Depending on the crime you were convicted of, collateral consequences may include:
- Sex offender registration
- Loss of your second amendment rights (right to bear arms)
- Suspension of your driver’s license
- Loss of your right to vote
- Revocation of your immigration status and possible deportation (for non-citizens)
- Ineligibility for student financial aid
- Damage to your professional reputation/loss of employability
- Difficulty qualifying for a mortgage or renting an apartment
Unfortunately, this is just a sampling of the challenges you may be having if you have a criminal record. Many people find the consequences that they did not anticipate to be the most burdensome of all. However, you may feel that the criminal justice system has already failed you once. You may wonder what good it will do to get drawn in again. Nothing can be done about it, right?
Wrong.
