Sommario/riassunto

A criminal record can be a formidable employment barrier and is thus a major contributor to employment inequality, as most employers would rather avoid hiring an individual who has committed a crime. This book, offering an employer-centric view of the latest research findings, blends interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and empirical findings to provide an overview and areas for future management research. The chapters assess the state of the field while highlighting the most critical themes that advance our understanding of the employment process and challenges for system-impacted individuals. Presenting a comprehensive assessment of the challenges and opportunities, this volume will appeal to disciplines related to organizational behavior, human resource management, and employment law, as well as any other disciplines that bear responsibility for enacting and crafting hiring and selection processes. Nicole C. Jones Young, is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Franklin & Marshall College, USA. Her research focuses on organizational inclusion, specifically emphasizing marginalized individuals, such as those with justice involvement and their reintegration to employment. Jakari N. Griffith, is an Associate Professor of Management in the Ricciardi College of Business at Bridgewater State University, USA, and the Chair of the Management and Marketing Department. His research focuses on diversity, leadership, and barriers to employment.

The articles are comprehensive, ranging from the theoretical to the highly applied. Practical applications include language teaching, literary stylistics and forensic linguistics with examples taken from lite
