- Ban_the_Box abstract "Ban the Box is the name of an international campaign by civil rights groups and advocates for ex-offenders, aimed at persuading employers to remove from their hiring applications the check box that asks if applicants have a criminal record. Its purpose is to enable ex-offenders to display their qualifications in the hiring process before being asked about their criminal records. The premise of the campaign is that anything that makes it harder for ex-offenders to find a job makes it likelier that they will re-offend, which is bad for society.The campaign began in Hawaii in the late 1990s, and has gained strength in other U.S. states following the 2007-2009 recession. Its advocates say it is necessary because a growing number of Americans have criminal records due to tougher sentencing laws particularly for drug crimes, and are having difficulty finding work because of high unemployment and a rise in background checks that followed the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.As of July 2015, 52 U.S. municipalities and 18 states had in place legislation that \"banned the box\" for government job applications and also in some cases those of their private contractors. Many such ordinances exempt applications for \"sensitive\" positions, such as those involving work with children. Target Corporation \"banned the box\" in October 2013.In the United Kingdom, corporate social responsibility advocacy charity Business in the Community launched a \"ban the box\" campaign in October 2013.The campaign has been criticized by U.S. industry group the National Retail Federation for exposing companies, their customers and employees to potential crime, and by the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, which says it could expose employers to lawsuits from unsuccessful applicants.".
