Abstract

Crime can have a significant impact on individuals' social mobility, affecting their chances of moving within higher social strata. Individuals involved in crime often face social stigma that hinders their access to employment, education and other social opportunities. This stigma creates difficulties for individuals to be accepted back into society and improve their social status. More inclusive social reintegration processes can help them improve their social status, but are often hindered by continued negative views of them. Policies that support rehabilitation, skills training and stigma reduction are needed to open up opportunities for individuals involved in crime to move towards higher social strata. Society needs to support these individuals by giving them a fairer chance to participate in social and economic life again.
