Working with Conviction: A Study on Employers' Attitudes to Hiring People with Criminal Convictions | Co_PI | Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT) / Non Commercial | 31-JAN-23 | 31-JUL-23 | 4500 | ||
Boxed Out: Higher education, criminal convictions, and perceptions of risk | PI | Irish Research Council (IRC) / New Foundations | Recent scrutiny of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) admissions policies for people with conviction(s) (PWC) is justified but it remains critically under-researched in an Irish context. To drive sectoral reform and redevelopment, this collaborative study with the Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT) will constitute the first empirical research on HEI admissions policies and practices regarding PWC in Ireland. Education is a protective factor which reduces recidivism and supports desistance from crime and reintegration, but barriers and stigmatisation are pronounced for PWC. Thus, an evidence-base for reform and fair admissions policies and practices is necessary to counteract the primacy of risk-based approaches. | 16-DEC-22 | 15-SEP-23 | 11963 | |
