Should criminal records of adults be erased after their sentence has been served? When I say erased I mean someone could do a background check and nothing shows up.There is no record, nor is there anything saying you been convicted or served time behind bars.
Yes upon release for all offenders
Yes upon release for non-violent offenders and never for violent offenders
Yes upon releases for non-violent offenders and a certain amount of time for violent offenses.
Yes after 1-5 years
Yes after 6-10 years
Yes after 11-15 years
Yes after 16-20 years
Yes after 21-30 years
Yes but time of record deletion should depend on offense.
Criminal records should never be erased.
I been thinking about this subject for a few days for a while now.If we can trust a former criminal to be in the general public,then shouldn't we erase that person's criminal so that he or she may not be impaired in getting a job or anything else someone may perform a background check for?
