Abstract

Criminal record checking is now widespread in Australia. Aboriginal people are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system, for a range of reasons including historic levels of disadvantage due to colonisation. They are therefore disproportionately likely to be negatively affected by criminal record checking when seeking employment, when taking on community governance roles, when being considered as kinship carers and so on. At the same time, productive and rewarding employment, and engagement in governance roles, are vital aspects of Aboriginal people's participation, contribution and engagement across all parts of the Australian community. This article examines practices, protocols and experiences of employers, employment agencies and government organisations in Western Australia and the Northern Territory managing the potential impact of a criminal record on Aboriginal employment. The article identifies four fields that can give rise to good employment practice: Background Checking; Recruitment; Risk Management; and Support and Engagement.
犯罪记录、歧视和土著社区:增加就业机会
犯罪记录检查现在在澳大利亚很普遍。原住民在刑事司法系统中的比例过高,原因有很多,包括殖民统治造成的历史劣势。因此,他们在求职、担任社区治理角色、被视为亲属看护人等方面,极有可能受到犯罪记录检查的负面影响,澳大利亚社会各阶层的贡献和参与。本文探讨了西澳大利亚州和北领地雇主、就业机构和政府组织管理犯罪记录对原住民就业的潜在影响的做法、协议和经验。文章确定了四个可以产生良好就业实践的领域:背景调查;招收风险管理;以及支持和参与。
