Question: Ban-the-Box

African Americans - especially males - have a higher rate of incarceration than other groups. A criminal record is arguably a major impediment to employment. Therefore, a "Ban-the-Box" movement wants to ban the question about a past criminal record on employment applications. This would allow those with a criminal record to at least possibly get an interview and be able to explain the circumstances if this issue arises. Employers, of course, can always do background checks that will provide this information about job candidates. More than 150 cities and counties, 34 states, and the District of Columbia, as well as some private employers like Walmart, Target, and the Home Depot, have eliminated this question on job applications. Some studies have concluded that this policy may actually result in fewer African Americans being hired. Do you agree with this policy?
