Abstract
Chronic unemployment remains a major obstacle to the successful community adjustment of offenders. As part of a comprehensive community treatment program, offenders with multiple employment handicaps were taught job-seeking skills and given intensive support in finding and maintaining employment. Based upon comparisons with a randomly assigned control group, clients receiving these services had significantly greater rate employment. Absenteeism and other work-related problems remained high however, and the initial impact on unemployment gradually dissipated over a 28-month follow-up period. Although the program was considered successful, it appears that intensive community treatment must be even more closely integrated with special employment and training oppurtunities for offenders in order to overcome the multiple barriers to their employment.
