The aim of this research is to determine whether the stigma of a criminal record should be considered in understanding the precarious conditions of individuals with convictions in the Spanish labour market. Previous studies have been unable to separate this effect from other explanations such as low levels of education or the breakdown of networks resulting from the conviction. Following Pager (2007), this study adopts the experimental methodology of the audit tests, in which matched fictitious curricula vitae, differing only in the mention of a conviction, are sent to real job offers, to verify whether there is a difference in the number of responses to each CV. The results show that skilled former offenders are discriminated in the Spanish labour market as a result of the stigma of a criminal record.

西班牙劳动力市场犯罪记录的污名：一项实验研究

本研究的目的是确定在了解西班牙劳动力市场中被定罪的个人的不稳定状况时是否应考虑犯罪记录的污名。以前的研究无法将这种影响与其他解释区分开来，例如教育水平低或因定罪导致网络崩溃。继 Pager (2007) 之后，本研究采用审计测试的实验方法，将匹配的虚构简历，仅在提及定罪时发送到真实的工作机会中，以验证数量是否存在差异对每个简历的回复。结果表明，由于犯罪记录的污名化，熟练的前罪犯在西班牙劳动力市场受到歧视。
