Webster, M A (2007) Willingness of employers in the Denver Metropolitan Area to hire released prisoners. DM thesis, University of Phoenix, USA.
Abstract
The purpose of this quantitative descriptive research study was to determine through statistical comparisons whether there were significant differences in employer willingness to hire released prisoners in the Denver metropolitan area based on type and size of firm. Although all of the employers surveyed were willing to hire someone having no criminal record before hiring a released prisoner, agricultural and construction firms were more willing to hire released prisoners before any other category of firm utilized in this study. Based on the findings of this research study, employment incentives such as guaranteed job contracts or tax breaks should be offered to agricultural and construction firms to increase their willingness to hire released prisoners.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
