AMPLIFICATION OF TWO EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO GRANTEES OF LEAA, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THEIR SIGNIFICANCE TO CORRECTIONAL SYSTEMS.

Abstract

THE FIRST OF THESE REQUIREMENTS DEALS WITH AFFIRMATIVE ACTION BY LEAA GRANTEES TO REMEDY DEFICIENCIES IN THE NUMBER OF MINORITY GROUP PERSONS, INCLUDING WOMEN, EMPLOYED IN THEIR WORK FORCE AND THE ELIMINATION OF DISCRIMINATORY MINIMUM HEIGHT STANDARDS (HEIGHT STANDARDS NOT COVERED IN THIS PAMPHLET). THE SECOND REQUIREMENT CONCERNS THE PROBLEM OF SITE SELECTION OF CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES WHERE THE LOCATION MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON MINORITY EMPLOYMENT.
