• In Event: Poster Session & Ice Cream Social

Abstract

In Japan, employment support for people released from prison is provided through cooperation with cooperating employers and social workers. This is because it has been pointed out that unemployed people have a high recidivism rate. However, there are reports that about 60% of criminals who receive employment support quit their jobs within a year, so it is necessary to consider how to maintain employment support.
　Therefore, in this study, we focused on the level of mental health and career maturity in order to examine the willingness to live in society and the intention to work. We believe that mental health is an important condition for ``living as oneself'' and that it greatly affects ``quality of life.'' In addition, we considered that the attitudinal and cognitive readiness of individuals who are willing to tackle their own career development tasks is also a concept that deserves attention.
　In this survey, we conducted a survey on the level of mental health of individuals who have been in prison and are living in society, and conducted questionnaires such as the Adult Career Maturity Scales to clarify the level of career maturity. We conducted a survey.
　As a result, we examined the relationship between the mental health and career maturity of the research participants (N=57), current employment support, and other factors related to crime risk. In employment support for prisoners, etc., it was considered important to enhance career maturity, rather than simply aiming to get a "job." I will report on the results on the day.
