标题:Fighting Collateral Sanctions One Statute at a Time: Addressing the Inadequacy of Child Endangerment Statutes and How They Affect the Employment Aspirations of Criminal Offenders
摘要:In an age where one in four adult Americans has a criminal record, post-conviction relief measures and review of criminal statutes is on the rise. This Comment addresses the inadequacy of current child endangerment statutes around the country by providing examples of those which are too broad and result in convictions of well-meaning parents and those which are too narrow and allow other parents to harm their children without repercussion. It then places these statutes in the context of collateral sanctions that are imposed on individuals with child endangerment convictions, particularly those related to employment and professional licensing.
