A STUDY INDICATING SOME OF THE POTENTIAL DANGERS IN PROVIDING SHORT TERM AID IN PLACING EX-OFFENDERS AND STRESSING PROBLEMS IN THE PLACEMENT OF WHITE-COLLAR EX-OFFENDERS.
Abstract
DURING 1970-1973 AN EMPLOYMENT ORGANIZATION FOR EX-OFFENDERS MADE OVER 18,000 TELEPHONE CALLS AND LETTERS TO EMPLOYERS IN TRYING TO PLACE 474 WHITE-COLLAR EX-OFFENDERS, BUT ONLY 173 OF THESE WERE ACTUALLY PLACED AS A RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS. THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS THAT THE AGENCY NOT LIMIT ITS EFFORTS IN PLACING CLIENTS.
