THIS REPORT DISCUSSES THE WORK OF A PRIVATELY-FUNDED SPECIAL PROJECT TO PLACE WHITE COLLAR AND SEX OFFENDERS INTO JOBS UPON THEIR RELEASE FROM PRISON.

Abstract

CONDUCTED BY THE APEX CHARITABLE TRUST, THIS PROJECT WAS BASED ON EARLIER RESEARCH WHICH SHOWED THAT WHITE COLLAR AND SEX OFFENDERS EXPERIENCE PARTICULAR DIFFICULTIES IN FINDING EMPLOYMENT AFTER RELEASE. THIS REPORT SETS OUT THE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT FOR 1972. OUT OF 240 EX-OFFENDERS REFERRED TO APEX, 67 WERE PLACED AND ACTUALLY STARTED WORK. A SECOND PART OF THE REPORT EXAMINES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OFFENDERS AIDED BY APEX, THE TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT THEY RECEIVED, THE LENGTH OF THEIR STAY ON THE JOB AFTER PLACEMENT, AND SOME OF THE PARTICULAR PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN PLACING WHITE COLLAR OFFENDERS. SECTION THREE CONCERNS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGES THAT WOULD MAKE PLACING WHITE COLLAR OFFENDERS EASIER, PARTICULARLY THE NEED FOR FIDELITY BONDING. FUTURE PLANS FOR THE APEX WHITE COLLAR PROJECT ARE ALSO BRIEFLY OUTLINED.
