Abstract

In order to prevent recidivism of ex-offenders, this paper needs to provide various ways of helping out-of-pocket-survivors adapt to the local community. One of solutions is the employment link through appropriate vocational training. A recent study from the US Department of Justice found that about 60% of ex-offenders unemployed for one year after their release. In such a situation, the employment possibility of ex-offenders with disabilities may even lower, so called "Dual Barriers". The purpose of this study is to present strategies to reduce the recidivism rate and increase the employment possibility of ex-offenders with disabilities presenting the cases in in the United States through literature reviews related.

출소자의 재범률을 줄이기 위해서는 생계가 막막한 출소자들의 지역사회 재진입 성공률을 높이는 다양한 방안이 마련되어야 하며 이러한 방안 중 하나로, 적절한 직업훈련을 통한 취업 연계가 무엇보다 중요하다. 최근 미국 법무부에서 나온 연구결과에 의하면 출소 후 1년 동안 무직상태에 있는 전과자는 60% 정도이다. 이러한 상황에서 전과를 가지고 있는 장애인들의 고용가능성은 더욱더 낮을 수밖에 없다. 그야말로 "이중 장애물(Dual Barriers)"이 존재하는 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 기존 연구 리뷰를 바탕으로 미국의 장애인 재소자 및 출소자 직업재활 프로그램을 소개하면서 장애인 범죄자의 재범률을 낮추고 고용가능성을 높이기 위한 전략을 제언하고자 한다.
