Summary:

An employer's use of an individual's criminal history in making employment decisions may, in some instances, violate the prohibition against employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended. This book discusses how criminal record information is collected and recorded, why employers use criminal records, and the EEOC's interest in such criminal record screening.
