Employment and ex-offenders in the United States: Effects of legal and extra legal factors
In: Probation journal: the journal of community and criminal justice, Band 54, Heft 1, S. 36-51
ISSN: 1741-3079

To address the unemploymen-crime relationship, this article examines the following: rates of incarceration; cultural factors and social pathologies; factors in prison affecting inmates' ability to gain employment skills; post-prison factors such as stigma, employers' concerns toward hiring ex-offenders, and legal barriers restricting the employment of ex-offenders.
