The Effort Involved in Finding Employment for White-Collar Offenders

KEITH SOOTHILL

After taking a degree in philosophy and psychology at Exeter, Keith Soothill completed a Ph.D.

Summary

Ex-offenders are notoriously difficult to place into employment. However, the efforts needed to help such clients find work vary enormously and an important question to consider is whether it is more appropriate to help a larger number of clients by limiting the amount of placing effort for each client or to continue to try to assist those who prove much more difficult placing propositions. The present study indicates some of the potential dangers in concentrating upon short-term aid and the findings have relevant implications for other areas of social work where there is a need to ration efforts made on behalf of clients. The present paper also stresses that the difficulties of while-collar es-offenders finding work have not been fully recognized by other comtnentators.
