Prin. of Management: Functional Structure?

[Drummerboy]

Another question . . .

On IC, in Prin. of Management, it states that in a job interview it is inappropriate to ask about previous arrests of your prospective employee. Is this not something you should be interested in when hiring an employee? My father has a lot of mangerial experience and he says that if arrests shows up on the employment application, they should be asked about.

Thanks so much!
