Arguments Against Background Check

Federal law has made the sale of firearms illegal to various individuals who have a history of being mentally unstable and licensed dealers to perform a background check before selling firearms. However, federal law has not made it mandatory for unlicensed sellers (individuals) to perform background checks. Additionally, states have the option of requiring dealers to conduct background checks through state or local agencies or directly through the FBI. States that conduct their own background checks can search records and databases in addition to those that the federal law requires to be searched. Surprisingly, state databases typically include information that is unavailable to the FBI, including outstanding felony warrants, mental health

Organization leaders have a responsibility for upholding the proper standards as they pertain to ethical behaviors in the workplace. Leaders are constantly faced with making the best decisions possible for their corporations and to increase profits for company stakeholders. Unfortunately, some stakeholders do not always make the right choices, especially when the wrong one choice is more enticing.

In 2012, Congress failed to pass the ban of employers asking employees to disclose Facebook passwords. Due to this hot topic, author and Senior Vice President/Chief Content Officer of Black Enterprise Alfred Edmond Jr. was asked “Should business owners be allowed to ask job applicants for their Facebook passwords?” when he aired on MSNBC’s television show Your Business. After answering “Yes” to the question, Alfred Edmond Jr. wrote and published on his own website Black Enterprise, “Why Asking For A Job Applicant’s Facebook Password Is Fair Game,” to go more in depth about his answer. Author Alfred Edmond Jr. admits that if he were on a show called Your Career, he would have answered differently to this question. He says that he would

According to Advance Staffing Solutions, “to be effective in hiring practices involves delving into the background of applicants to get a better idea of their abilities and employment performance. However, this has to be measured with respect for the privacy of each individual candidate as well as staying compliant with relevant laws. Therefore, the purpose of the background check is to help evaluate aptitude and skills and needs to be carried out with this the primary goal” (2011, para. 1).

How do the results of the background check influence your decision to hire the applicant? Do you still hire the applicant, despite the

In this article, Apuzzo and Protess outline the new strategy set out by the Justice Department to target white-collar crime. Up until now, they indicate that there has been very few executives that have been charged with crimes for their role in the housing scandal and other economic scandals that lead up to the previous recession. The new strategy, headed by the new Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Deputy Attorney General Suzy Yates, encourages corporations to turn over their executives and settle it as a civil case instead of blaming a low-level employee and possibly face criminal charges and heavy fines.

The question of taking away U.S citizens right to bear arms has been in question in the past years. There has been an increasing rise in gun related incidents and shooting rampages. According to VerBruggen the U.S has a much higher homicide rate than almost any other country that is as highly developed as the United States.This growing epidemic has been long sought after to try to come up with a solution.

Most unethical decisions are intentional done with some type of motive behind a corporation or persons actions. However, this article discussions for unintentional ways that unethical situations present themselves, which are concerned with four different types of bias.

It is no secret that many hiring businesses choose to perform background checks on their employees. For some this may be a bad thing but for the employer this could really reveal what type of people are working for them. For employer, there is often a lot of pressure in being able to hire a good employee who not only represents the company well, but also assist the company in performing better. There are too many instances in which a company will hire someone who ends up hurting the company and their process more than helping this. This is a common mistake. While performing a background check cannot completely reveal how the person will behave in the workplace, it is often very helpful.

I believe a few laws need to be restructured. To me the biggest law that should be added is requiring a background check for all guns purchased from legal vendors. As of right now background checks on gun purchases vary by state some states require background checks some don’t. However background checks are only conducted at gun stores but not at things such as gun conventions or fairs. Many people ultimately go to a gun convention to avoid a background check and have no problems getting their hands on a gun even though they probably shouldn’t. I believe that all legal gun purchases should require a background check no matter the state, time purchasing, etc. If the government puts a required background check in all states in order to

Minor things can also show up, but each incident should be addressed before considering hiring the potential applicant. All applicants has the right to know what to do if their background check show incorrect information. If false it should be disputed with the employer, the agency (that conducted the background check), and it might even go to court. Employers must tell the applicant of any negative information that turned up, they should provide them with a copy of their report and contact information for the agency that did the report. The applicant should contact the agency in writing, and if it is done within a certain time this can be provided free of charge. Now if the employer questions the report, they can contact the references. This is to try to get some type of feel of the applicant’s character and work ethic. If the references is not aware of some things on the application, them this tells the employer that the applicant was not hones. In situations like this honesty is best. Not being honest about one’s history can cause them to miss out on an opportunity. When the employer just might be considering this person for the position, until they found that things were falsified on the

A background check can be a potential problem that recruiting officers consider. This is necessary because it tells what type of person the applicant is and give an insight about their past lifestyle. A background check, includes information such as driving records, credit history, past employers, court records, incarceration records and references. After doing a thorough investigation, it will determined if you will be considered to have a career in policing. No applicant will hold a position as a police officer if been convicted of a felony within their life. According to Timothy Roufa, a

People try to uphold themselves to the moral values set by society, yet sometimes make unethical decisions. Typically individuals who do make unethical decisions are influenced by individual biases, outside pressures, and situational factors. These elements can impact decision making to the extent that they consciously or subconsciously lie and cheat. Though, the frequency and magnitude of this behavior generally varies from person to person, a majority would not go to the degree of damaging their positive image.

I strongly believe that Organization try to screen potential employees by avoiding hiring applicants who they feel may have ethical issues; they attempt to do this by completing criminal background checks on the applicants. However, several researches
