> They need to study deeper, why these young men engage in criminal activities in the first place, only to find themselves arrested and later ineligible for any job. To be fair, almost all of the young men I knew growing up (in an affluent chunk of society) engaged in what were then criminal activities. Almost nobody established a criminal record because everyone was wealthy enough to be insulated from law enforcement (they could do the criminal activities in parents' basements and college dorms). Maybe part of the issue is that many non-harmful behaviors have been criminalized.
