Abstract: Employment is important for reentry, but remains a challenge for justice-involved individuals. Extant research has shown that employers' prior experience hiring individuals with a criminal record is a key predictor of their future behavior towards this group. This study expands this research by describing employers' prior experiences hiring a person with a criminal record, how it impacts their future hiring preferences, and whether managers' belief in redeemability impacts that association.
