    Employing Our Returning Citizens (now available online)

    Young, N.C.J. & Griffith, J.N. (2024). Employing Our Returning Citizens: An employer-centric view. Palgrave MacMillan.

    A criminal record can be a formidable employment barrier and is thus a major contributor to employment inequality, as most employers would rather avoid hiring an individual who has committed a crime. This book, offering an employer-centric view of the latest research findings, blends interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and empirical findings to provide an overview and areas for future management research.

    Dear Jakari.

    Thank you for sharing this with us.  I'll be teaching (exploratory) a semester at the Chesire Prison in CT come Spring of 2025 as part of the liberal arts consortium.  I will indeed read and require your text but one quick question for you:  Are there texts or articles regarding how individuals formerly incarcerated could re/gain and reapply for financial benefits and ultimately obtain financial emancipation?  

    Any insights would be greatly appreciated.


    Warmly,
