Book excerpt: It is easy to get a criminal record. Simply being accused of a crime will lead to police making a record (usually called incident or occurrence report) of the event, even if no charges are laid. And if police do decide to lay charges, which they will do if they have the slightest belief that the person is guilty, fingerprints and photographs are taken. These become a criminal record, even if the charge may not result in conviction, if the person is found innocent, or if the case is thrown out of court. The vast majority of people with criminal records are everyday folk. They have jobs. They are mothers and fathers. They pay taxes. They don't own guns, and do not hang out in gangs. In Canada, 4.5 million adults (one in five) have been charged with a crime. More than 500,000 people are charged every year. This means that you, or one of your family members, a friend, a neighbour, or someone else you care about has, or will acquire, a criminal record. Criminal records can adversely affect your ability to get a job, to rent accommodation, to secure a mortgage, to travel, to do volunteer work, to become a Canadian citizen, and much more. This book explains what criminal records are, how they impact peoples' lives, and how a criminal record can be removed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over sixty million Americans, possessing a criminal record overshadows everything else about their public identity. A rap sheet, or even a court appearance or background report that reveals a run-in with the law, can have fateful consequences for a person’s interactions with just about everyone else. The Eternal Criminal Record makes transparent a pervasive system of police databases and identity screening that has become a routine feature of American life. The United States is unique in making criminal information easy to obtain by employers, landlords, neighbors, even cyberstalkers. Its nationally integrated rap-sheet system is second to none as an effective law enforcement tool, but it has also facilitated the transfer of ever more sensitive information into the public domain. While there are good reasons for a person’s criminal past to be public knowledge, records of arrests that fail to result in convictions are of questionable benefit. Simply by placing someone under arrest, a police officer has the power to tag a person with a legal history that effectively incriminates him or her for life. In James Jacobs’s view, law-abiding citizens have a right to know when individuals in their community or workplace represent a potential threat. But convicted persons have rights, too. Jacobs closely examines the problems created by erroneous record keeping, critiques the way the records of individuals who go years without a new conviction are expunged, and proposes strategies for eliminating discrimination based on criminal history, such as certifying the records of those who have demonstrated their rehabilitation.
