520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Research indicates that employment is effective in reducing recidivism amongst ex-offenders. However, ex-offenders are also discouraged from obtaining employment as a result of their poor education level, deficits in vocational skills and employer bias and discrimination. In Hong Kong, the Society of Rehabilitation and Crime Prevention offers a wide range of services to assist ex-offenders in employment. While a number of ex-offenders have benefited from these services, continuing difficulties are hard to overcome without government support. This paper recommends a multi-disciplinary approach to improve the employment situation of ex-offenders in Hong Kong and advocates for greater government involvement to help facilitate the reintegration of ex-offenders into the community in Hong Kong.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc 有研究指出就業能有效減少更生人士成為累犯者的機會。但是，因為低學歷及缺乏職業技能， 再加上雇主的偏見及歧視均阻礙更生人士就業。 香港善導會提供廣泛種類的服務協助更生人士就業。 雖然部分更生人士已經受惠, 但在缺乏政府支持下， 持續性問題依然難以獲得解決。 本文建議用跨專業的方法改善香港更生人士的就業困境， 並且提倡政府需要更多協助促進更生人士再度融入社會。
