New developments concerning negligent hiring in municipal governments

Abstract

Focuses on a lack of reasonable care in the employment selection process leading to litigation in the human resources field in the USA. Uses sample cases to show neglect in these areas, including a wrongful shooting death in Sacramento among others. Posits that a simple way to ensure that employers hire only safe and competent employees is for prior employers to provide as much information as possible about potential employees.
