National Inventory of Collateral Consequences of Conviction

For the tens of millions of Americans with a juvenile court record or adult criminal record, the impact of those records extends far beyond any disposition or sentence. Currently, there are more than 40,000 state and federal collateral consequences, or legal and regulatory sanctions and restrictions that limit or prohibit people convicted of a crime or adjudicated for a delinquent act from accessing employment, housing, education, voting, occupational licensing, and other rights, benefits, and opportunities. In support of people living with a juvenile court record or adult criminal record, the National Reentry Resource Center hosts the National Inventory of Collateral Consequences of Conviction (NICCC) to provide helpful information about both the collateral consequences of conviction or adjudication.

The National Inventory of Collateral Consequences of Conviction (NICCC) is an online searchable database that identifies and categorizes the statutes and regulations that impose collateral consequences in all 50 states, the federal system, and the District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The NICCC also features state and national inventories, reports, briefs, videos, podcasts, and other resources focused collateral consequences.
