It is quite obivlous that with
m inorities, p a rticularly, the
stigma of a crim in a l record
leads to no hope and despair.
Unable to find any kind of work
leads them, as well as others
back to crim e and to repeat
the process of prosecution and
incarceration. Ih e research
shows that " r e a l" rehabili
tation, which includes employ
ment. is fa r more economical
and cannot be measured m
terms of what is human and
decent.

Picketing Private
Home
Henry's plan to open a tav
ern in a suburban neighborhood
raised the hackles of nearby resi
dents. One afternoon, several men
showed up at his house with pro
test signs and began to picket
Equally incensed, Henry went
to court for an injunction against
this “ intrusion into my private
life ." At the hearing, the picket-
ers insisted they were mainly ex
ercising their right of free speech.
But the court sided with Henry
and issued an injunction
“ The home is a retreat from
outside affairs." said the judge.
“ When the right of free speech
is weighed against the right to
privacy, the balance favors the
privacy of the home.”

Courts generally have con
curred in placing a high value on
the home as a privileged sanc
tuary from strife.
Nevertheless, residential picket
ing has sometimes been allowed
under special circumstances —
such as ihe fact that the occupant
of the house is a public official.
Thus, the picketing of a gov
ernor's home by a civil rights
group was upheld in court. The
judge said Ihe picketers “ had a
legitimate right, protected by the
Constitution, to appeal to those in
authority for redress ”
And the picketing of a land
lord's home by disgruntled ten
ants was sustained on the ground
that he had no other known head
quarters where they could vent
their feelings.
Of course, even if picketing it
self is considered lawful, it may
still be condemned because of the
manner in which it is done.
In another case, the home of a
hospital executive was subjected
to mass picketing by boister
ous marchers. Furthermore, they
flaunted signs that were plainly
libellous This time, a court held
the picketing unlawful
“ Conducted at a considerable
distance from the hospital," said
the judge, “ in a residential area,
it was apparently aimed to cause
humiliation and mortification to
fthe victim) and his family. It
represents a form of direct and
unmitigated coercion, a foul
blow.”

No humane thinking person,

That job application forms 1»

The danger of encountering
employment b a rrie rs is not
lim iteJ to those who have been
convicted. In most ju ris tlc -
tions job application forms
seek information about a r
rests, even though followed by
no conviction, and in many
areas such
arrests are
grounds for not hiring. The
study urges federal legisla
tion to prohibit all public or
private employers from ask
ing about a rrest records on
job application forms, and to
prevent the general disclosure
by law enforcement agencies
of information regarding a r
rest re cordsw hlcharenotfol-
iowed by convictions.
