Question: Based on your research interest, write a Theoretical Perspective section for your envisioned dissertation research. Theoretical frameworks provide a basis for the study; examples include social and psychological theories, organizational theories, leadership theories, economic theories, and educational theories. Answer: The recruitment of ex offenders so as to minimize the wastage of human capital is a pertinent problem which is a great concern to the stake holders, officials, academic and the business leaders. In US there are so many incarcerated people, among which approximately 2 million men incarcerated and out of these The percentage of African men is about 41. (Blessett et al., 2013). The business professionals attract these labor so as to meet their business needs. There are many employers who are not interested in hiring individuals who have done any crime. The process of employment and the bringing up of the ex offender to the community is a long process that requires stake holders, victim and the community support. In the later paragraphs a description of the criteria of selection, the theoretical perspective and the facts, the theories and the concepts are explained in detail. At the workplace to recruit an ex offender is the biggest challenge as there are so many things to be looked at. Firstly the organizations use Disclosure and Barring Service to assess the criminal record of the person who has applied for a certain position. It is kept in mind that the individuals are not discriminated because of the convictions, outstanding criminal proceedings and convictions. The talent skills, potential is judged on a fairly basis. The complete DBS check is must sto as to attain employment. The recruitment criteria is different for different organizations. The NHS business service authorities ensures that there is no inequality among individuals, an interview is conducted irrespective of the crime done. Disclosures are only asked when a risk assessment is identified related to the post. The posts that require disclosures send a document stating the level of disclosure, the relevance, application forms and adverts that are required for the position. In general case s the NHSBSA only for the details of unspent convictions related to The Rehabilitation of offenders act of 1974. In some cases it can also ask about the full criminal record. NHSBSA has HR advisors who read out the disclosures and tell the training and guidance that has to be provided by the managers (Kilgore, 2012). It also abides to the CRB codes of practice. A copy of CRB is provided to all the applicants and ha to abide it. The employment of the offenders depends on the nature, course, circumstances of the crime done by him/her. The employment process is done like it is done for a normal individual but it is kept in mind that the human capital is not harmed. It has been seen the number of ex offenders are increasing year by year. The data has crossed millions and till the age of 23 every individual has done a crime. It also cause a negative impact on the society as well as economic harm to the country.The African American families mostly live in poverty as compared to other groups. Obtaining employment with a sustainable wage is imperative in the equation of maintaining a family, and the reduction in recidivism. The EEOC and Affirmative Action came out so as to reduce the economic inequalities among racial and ethnic minority. The judges of lower courts were on liberty to take up business and offer employment and promotions to the minorities due to the transgressions that occur in past. A positive socio economic relation is demanded with these peoples so as to strengthen the community. For this both the qualitative and quantitative methods are applied. There are centre like Evelyn K. Davis Center is a non profit institute that work to pr ovide career and education to the African men. The stakeholders are strategic and they are enticing and retaining an additional number of employees. The ex offenders who have done less severe crimes and have the skills are preferred as it can decrement recidivism. The first things that are meant for these ex offenders are release, reentry, rehabilitation, and reintegration. When an individual leaves the prison then its called release, then its reentry in to the community and the society (Garner, B. A. et al, 2004). Then comes the theory of reformation it is to make the individual do something good for the community and to improve the individuals character and the last major theory is reintegrate. It is to become an entity, to improve the individuals character and to be accepted to the society. For this concept the rehabilitation is must for and individual. The rehabilitation theory is done to arouse proper moral values in the individual and to keep him away from doing crime again. Further a new approach of restorative is added to rehabilitation theory. A restorative approach is to involve in a process to a certain extent, to the individual who have a stake in a crime and to collectively introduce the harms, need and obligation so as to heal up and put all the things in the right place. It is the stake holder in an offense who are at the employment of the ex offenders. In a restorative approach. According to Zehr research this approach emphasize to put the wrong things in a right place by following inclusive processes and involving each and every stakeholder (Zehr, 2001). So crime can be corrected if the harm done is repaired (Johnstone, 2004). According to a research in order to repair the harm the five steps are required. These are compensation, stakeholder satisfaction, relationship construction and the prevention of crime to occur again. This repair is a part of the social exchange. In this the community along with the victim and the stake holders are involved so as to correct the harm done. The ones who have a history of unemployment are more prone to do crime and economic so providing them employment ca keep them away from doing crime again and again. All this also cause a economic harm to the community in case if the number of former prisoners become high. The act of imprisonment impose a wage penalty to the lifetime earning of the former prisoner. So giving an en offender a salary serve to address the harm that the community has to pay in the years of imprisonment. In this way the ex offender can again become and entity and would help in human capital. The offender now can stand up alone and say he can offer something to the nation and he/she is on his/her own now. The reinforcement and the restoration process involves all the steps to make an ex offender guilty and to arouse positive character aspects in them. So, it can be said this approach of employment can be seen as a way of solving the problem and making the ex offenders a better member of the community. It has also been shown to influence deeply the recidivism of the ex offenders. The restorative approach which is followed under this can be seen as a more advance view of approaching the subject and providing a more competent solution. The process all together is a long one but if followed appropriately can be a advantage to the victim and the society. References: Archilles, M. and Zehr, H. (2001).
