摘要

许多理论强调就业是如何防止犯罪累犯的,但犯罪记录是被雇佣的主要障碍。我们要求591名经理在两名申请人之间做出假设的招聘决定,这两名申请人的关键区别是是否有刑事定罪。此外,我们随机操纵有犯罪记录的申请人的教育、推荐信、工资或经验,以确定哪些操纵可以抵消申请人被选中概率的记录成本。我们发现,当资质相同时,有犯罪记录的申请人不太可能被雇佣。然而,该申请人可能会通过至少1年的相关经验、GED或大学学位,或前雇主或教授的推荐信而被录用(即可能性超过50%)。不完整的学位、刑事司法专业人员的推荐信或工资折扣都不会使有记录的申请人有可能被聘用。调查结果证实,犯罪记录会带来很高的就业成本,但也表明,这一成本可以被现有项目和机构提供的表明申请人可靠性的特定证书所取代。

How to overcome the cost of a criminal record for getting hired

Many theories emphasize how employment is protective against criminal recidivism, yet a criminal record is a major barrier for getting hired. We asked 591 managers to make hypothetical hiring decisions between two applicants whose key difference was the presence or absence of a criminal conviction. In addition, we randomly manipulated the education, references, wage, or experience of the applicant with the criminal record to identify which manipulations can offset the cost of the record on an applicant's probability of being selected. We found that, when credentials were the same, the applicant with a criminal record was unlikely to be hired. That applicant, however, could become likely to be hired (i.e., the likelihood crossed 50 percent) by having at least 1 year of relevant experience, a GED or a college degree, or references from a former employer or a professor. Incomplete degrees, references from criminal justice professionals, or wage discounts did not make the applicant with the record likely to be hired. Findings confirm that a criminal record carries a high employability cost but also indicate that this cost can be superseded by specific credentials that signal an applicant's reliability, which can be provided by existing programs and institutions.
