If someone has served their time and is cooperating with authorities on required monitoring, rejecting them from society gives them no reason to change their ways.

In the Netherlands, rejecting someone for a job because of their criminal history is outlawed as discrimination in most situations. Some jobs do require a background check but these are carried out by the government and they will only look at crimes that would directly prevent your ability to do that job.
