  Other than sex offenders for whom I have no time..surely a way forward would be to eliminate the box on application forms that require one to declare whether one has a criminal conviction spent or otherwise.Most prospective employers simply note the tick and dismiss the application before interviewing the candidate.Surely that question could be asked either at the interview or later if the applicant is offered a post or shortlisted.
  
  As it stands at present many ex-cons get disheartened by submitting job apps for jobs they could easily perform but having ticked the box hear no more.Maybe this is an area that could be addressed?
