Re: Criminal Background Check [Re: wilshire]

> how about a person denied a job for a half dozen public intoxication arrests and 4 DUI's?

A creative driver.

> how about someone convicted of having their 11 year old kid sell meth for them?

Management experience!

> what about someone who has 4 recent convictions for heroin possession?

Sales experience! (possession doesn't mean using)

> based on their criminal records, would you think such people would be more likely or less likely to make good employees?

Depends upon the occupation.


(I'm just having fun. I think you actually make a pretty good point. However, once a person "pays their debt to society" should their past still be held against them? I got arrested as a teenager, but haven't had so much as a parking ticket since. Does that arrest twenty some odd years ago mean that I am a bad employee?)

Most employment applications ask about convictions in the past five years. Youthful indiscretions would only be reviewed if the applicant was still, in fact, a youth.

So debt to society plus five years?  :wink:

The conviction would occur prior to any period of incarceration, so the sentences would be served concurrently. :wink:

It seems similar to the way auto insurance companies look at 7 years of driving records to determine rates, or negative reports drop off your credit rating in 7 years.  If you haven't re-offended during that time, they figure you got a clue.  (Or got better at not getting caught, in the case of criminal charges.)

Ok, I give... do I get credit for tying?  :smile:  (Maybe a gold star or something?)
