I need to have my problem statement and purpose statements hashed out by tomorrow and thought I would ask some opinions Do you guys think these are well thought out or do you see some changes that need to be made. Appreciate all the help!
Problem Statement
If society has any chance of successfully reforming convicted felons, something must change in order to better facilitate their reentry into normal society. Employment barriers are the greatest obstacle in a former felons path to becoming a productive member of society. The solution to allow felons easier access to gainful employment is to disallow the unfair questioning on employment applications about felony charges.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of this research is to examine what can be done to lessen the extreme rates of recidivism within the prison population and discover whether there is a direct link between recidivism and the lack of available acceptance within society.
