Answer:

Collateral consequences, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Collateral consequences, is a term used to refer to the added civil state penalties that attach to the convictions of the criminal. The collateral consequences do not come under the direct consequences because they are the further civil actions taken by the state as an outcome of the conviction. These civil actions are completely taken by the states and not directly ordered by the judge.
