Talk:Loss of rights due to criminal conviction

Needs Correction?

"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)

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)

Neutrality

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)

Loss of rights due to felony conviction → Loss 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.

• Oppose with that spelling – The article uses U.S. English, and "offence" is not correct in U.S. English. —BarrelProof (talk) 15:47, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
• Move to Loss of rights due to conviction for criminal offense, per BarrelProof. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 21:01, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
