Criminal records are essential to the smooth running of the criminal justice system, but are overlooked and taken for granted. Terry Thomas considers their uses within the criminal justice system and beyond--especially the growth of their use for pre-employment screening via the Criminal Records Bureau. This book also considers future developments and the impact that transfering criminal records across international borders will have.
