The social contract is you try to fix yourself up, society looks the other way on your old acts.
Of course, on some crimes it makes sense to put some limits directly for directly related stuff. E.g. not employing ex-child-rapists in schools.
But shunning people for their opinion, not even what they acted on, in an unrelated field... What's the incentive in getting in line with the society then?
