Needs Correction?

[edit]

"The result is that over 6% of the adult population is excluded, including about 30% of black men." This is more or less directly quoted from the reference, but it can't be right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.164.178.54 (talk) 22:52, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've re-written the introduction a bit, and added sections on disenfranchisement and firearms posession, to make it a bit more comprehensive. It's still solely about the US situation, though; I'm not sure what's the best thing to do about that. Swanny18 (talk) 18:22, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

[edit]

To me this article seems very biased against removal of felon's civil rights. Arguments against it are presented but arguments in favor are absent. 174.52.198.8 (talk) 07:38, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Loss of rights due to felony convictionLoss of rights due to conviction for criminal offence – This article has been tagged for five years as not representing a world-wide view of the topic. The name of the article is itself an example of US-centric analysis, as the term "felony" is now used only in the US. "Conviction for a criminal offence" is a more neutral and universal term.
