For more resources on issues related to the employment of people with criminal records, visit the National H.I.R.E. Network.  The goal of the National Helping Individuals with criminal records Re-enter through Employment Network is to increase the number and quality of job opportunities available to people with criminal records by changing public policies, employment practices and public opinion.

The widespread availability of criminal history information (rap sheets) exacerbates barriers to employment.  For extensive resources on criminal records and policies on waivers, certificates of rehabilitation, and restoration of rights, go to the Privacy & Criminal folder.
