I find such justification easy.
Is the net social gain of hiring someone working towards or through rehabilitation greater than that of hiring someone who's not faced with that burden? In other words, am I helping reduce recidivism? I think so.
- lucozade 9y agoMaybe. If a kid fucked up and has shown maturity then I would completely agree. It's both beneficial to them and to society. For the person in the article, it's not that clear. There's no reason to believe she'll repeat the heinous crime but the effect of her presence in the organisation could be very disruptive. I wouldn't say it is easy.
- appleiigs 9y agoCan you really say to your team that you've hired the best available when you hire PhD with prison when you had PhDs available without. If you think hiring someone with rehabilitation is a greater social good, then you are effectively punishing people who don't have a criminal record.
