存在许多法律障碍，妨碍释囚获得合法就业，这是重新融入社会的主要手段。本文探讨了这些法律的范围和效用，表面上是为了减少潜在雇员从事工作场所犯罪的可能性。这些规定与有效评估求职者的犯罪风险无关，犯罪背景调查的缺陷，缺乏将有前科罪犯与工作场所犯罪联系起来的经验证据，以及有无可行的替代办法，这些都突出表明有必要减少对有前科罪犯重新进入工作岗位的这些重大障碍。文章最后提出了在就业筛选法中合理使用风险评估的建议。
Many legal barriers exist that prevent ex-offenders from obtaining lawful employment, a principle means for reintegration. This article explores the scope and utility of these laws, which aim ostensibly to reduce the prospective employee’s likelihood of engaging in workplace crime. Irrelevance of the provisions to the effective assessment of job applicants’ risks of offending, shortcomings of criminal background checks, lack of empirical evidence linking ex-offenders to workplace crime, and the availability of viable alternatives underscore the need to scale back these significant obstacles to ex-offender reentry. The article concludes with recommendations for reasonable uses of risk assessment in employment screening laws.
