Depends on the nature of the crime and the nature of the work they are applying for. I would hire someone with lets say a minor theft as long as they aren't getting hired into a role where they handle money. Someone getting busted for smoking pot I wouldn't give a hoot about. In fact, I would probably let most drug related crimes slide. I myself have done several and I'm not about to judge others on that.
Hiring someone to work for a bank with a criminal background?
Are you FREAKING INSANE????
The best way to rob a bank is to own it.
Streaking as well as taking a leak in public gets you criminal record as a sex offender. Is that a disqualifier?

Well you know approximately 25% of responders here have a criminal record.
Assuming the demographics for the study that said that, and the demographics for here match.
It doesn't really matter. There's a considerable number that openly advocate trusting people who refused to follow the rules. I can't say that's self serving or generous, I really don't know each individual case, nor do want to. I'm sure there's some of each.
What I do know, is that if you're going to regulate a bank, rule #1 would be "no criminals as employees". The same rule would come from those that bond the employees. Since they're on the hook for the losses from a bad act committed by an employee, their job is to take every precaution possible.

Both are willful violation of the rules. You don't seem to get it. Why would you hire people who don't follow the rules they're supposed to operate by?
We incarcerate 25% of the world's prisoners and dont even come close to 25% of the world's population.
The oligarchy has realized that poor people are a drain on their subsidies, and dont really consume much, so they decided to throw a bunch of them in jail and make money off them that way.

Several years ago, the school district I worked for in Texas required all employees (over 8000 of us) to be fingerprinted and investigated. They dismissed a handful of janitors for various minor offenses on their records. I only heard of one teacher being fired and he had some minor marijuana conviction from his college days. The guy was married and had kids to support. It was tough on his family.
This kind of policy needs to be intelligently applied.

And therein resides the problem. When you get people with an all or nothing approach to the problem - as demonstrated by some on this thread - then intelligence gets thrown out the window.
I think the DOL has said unless there is a "special" reason, you cannot discriminate against a person's criminal history... I am waiting for liberals to change the rules so that you cannot discriminate a person if they have zero skills/talents for a job...
