The are various solutions....

You see, someones C.O.R.I is there private information and is only supposed to be viewed by those who have the authority to view it. Future employers certain school's etc...
I'd like to make one thing clear before I go any further. I myself feel that these people should have the authority to use ones C.O.R.I when making big decisions, such as hiring someone for a job. One thing I don't agree with is schools having this authority. Your probably saying right now that I must have my facts confused, but I don't. You see a school can not deny you admittance as long as you meet all admissions expectations. This is because it is against the law. It is when you are deciding your major or certificate program when you will experience this injustice. I myself have gone through this. I was looking through a course list for a particular community college I had in mind and stumbled upon a 2 certificate programs that interested me. I don t actually remember the exact titles but the first was a program that had allot do with at risk youth and the prevention further criminal offences. The other was in relation to the prevention of substance abuse. Both of these programs required a C.O.R.I evaluation. At first it seemed fair considering that job placement might be a hassle in the future. I was later informed by someone in admissions that this was not for job placement, and that it was standard procedure before entry. How fair is that? Not fair at all if you ask me. I mean wouldn't someone who has fell victim to the very things these programs are trying to prevent know a few angles and methods that are useful. I'd say so.
There are others who feel just as strongly as I do and have come up with their own solutions.

My solution to this particular problem, is that not only should schools allow students who have criminal backgrounds into these programs, but that they should encourage this. You see who would know more about its prevention than someone who once could not prevent it. I think if someone has once made a mistake and learned from it they may be able to teach others how not to.
