Should a conviction still be allowed to hold ex-felons back?

Yes I agree and you really don't need research. If you meet enough people or watch around long enough we always tend to see someone who wasn't given the right opportunities to move ahead, so how do yuo propose that ex felons be given enough of a chance to move ahead...or should they even be given a chance at all?

That is a form of qualitative research. Research is necessary. Everyone thinks their personal experience and opinion is unique and should make the world go 'round. Personal experiences and opinions mean nothing to me unless I see the macro patterns that surpass the micro (personal).

Ideally, felons should be given a second chance and the who, what, when, and how of that matters more than just thinking felons should (or should not) be given a second chance. And, no, I probably won't feel like outlining all of that in this thread.
