Results indicate that those individuals with a criminal background were rated as being less likely than other disadvantaged groups, excluding those with intellectual or psychiatric disability, to obtain and maintain employment. In addition, ex-prisoners were rated as being less likely than offenders and the general workforce to exhibit the skills and characteristics relevant to employability. Future research was recommended in examining attitudes toward employment for a wider or broader range of ex-prisoners and offender variations. A relatively small amount of research has investigated employer attitudes toward the employability of ex-prisoners and offenders. To address this weakness in the research, this study investigated the views of 1,181 participants from 4 stakeholder groups (employees, employment service providers, corrective service workers, and prisoners and offenders) in an attempt to identify the extent and sources of attitudinal constraints toward employment of ex-prisoners and offenders serving and completing noncustodial community-based orders.
