disclosure of criminal record?

As someone who reads application forms and shortlists - all I can say is be honest, tell it like it is and although giving a reason is good - make it a reason and not just an excuse!!

Most criminal history checks reveal every ARREST - not just convictions.  Even if you are arrested for murder and then acquitted, or released because the police realized that you were the wrong person  - that arrest will ALWAYS be on your record.  So your record will reflect any and all arrests, whether misdemeanor or felony.  In most states, you can apply for a copy of your Automated Criminal History at your local law enforcement agency.  There is a fee and you must supply photo ID, but it's a good way to check to see what exactly is on your record.  Should you find any discrepancies, you can petition for their removal, and the local police department should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Sorry Smokey but you are wrong. If you have a conviction, and I had one at 14 years of age, it stays on your record at the Criminal records office for life. It is not however referred to after 7 years as this comes under the spent convictions tab under the rehabilitation of offenders act so you do not have to disclose it. If however you appear in court at a later date after the 7 years they can bring it up in court. I know this to be 100% correct. Hope it helps.

You're asking a complex question\n\nObstruction, as in Martha Stewart interfering with an investigation?\n\nLying to an officer, as in making a statement after waiving Miranda Rights, signing a Crime Report?\n\nOfficers from your State jurisdiction, or officers from Federal jurisdiction?\n\nThe truth coming out, as in being prosecuted?  Yes, whether or not you are found guilty...A prosecution by, say, a DA will appear on your record and not subject to expungement\n\nA good job, as in for Dept of Defense? not if you need a security clearance\n\nA good job, as in confiction of a felony?  quite likely a company still asks these questions about whether you've had conviction of a felony\n\nA good job, as in a misdemeanor? don't volunteer information unless it is required on the job application

When the question is asked, it must be answered honestly.  It is during the inverview that you can offer your explanation.  Also, if you want, you can attach an explanation to the application.  However, no matter how many years, you are obligated to tell the truth or be subject to termination anytime by the company when it is discovered.  Your honesty is much more important than any felony record.  Be honest and truthful.

You're not going to get an accurate answer unless you tell people what state you're in.  The laws covering these things vary by state.\n\nIf you're in California, give it up.  Criminal history is very tightly controlled and the average Joe can't get it.\n\nIf you know what court jurisdictions your family member may have been in trouble in, court records are almost always public information.  That won't tell you everything, but it may well give you the information you're looking for.

A government job will require her to provide a copy of her DD214, so non disclosure is not an option in that case.\n\nI am in HR with a government agency and when we receive an applicant that has this type of discharge we ask that applicant to submit a written explanation of the events that led to the discharge. Generally if the explanation appears to be honest and the person seems to have learned from the mistakes made, the application goes through. This also depends on the severity of the events of course. \n\nBeware of lying... the DD214 should have a chapter code on the bottom and most government employers know the meaning of each chapter. If the statement doesn't coincide with the chapter, you can forget it. \n\nIn my experience the only discharge that will absolutely prevent you from government employment is a Dishonorable.

that would depend on where the person's criminal background is. in some places it is available for free, other places you have to pay, and there are still other places that the information is not considered public record, and therefore not available to the general public.

try coming out of prison from robbing 11 banks and getting a job. You have it made compared to me...\nIn the application where it asks if you ever had any criminal convictions------leave it blank. and wait to answer that question during the interview. You're not lying....you're simply choosing not to share that kind of info for others to see.

Yes. Under the enhanced disclousure procedures any potential employer will get a police record search which will show any convictions, charges, cautions or suspisions. It would then be up to an employer if they wished to employ you. They are likely to ask the nature of the offecece, when it was and the background. Given it is a serious crime of violence they are likely to ask you about this before offering any employment as they have to be sure you are able and fit to work with children

I have some gaps in my work history.  They aren't questioned.  If they do question, just say you were working outside of your profession, SAHM, federal prison, etc.

I think it depends on what kind of records you are talking about. The best thing to do is A. ask your attorney and B. ask a representative of your local domestic violence program. For example, it is very important for medical records that document the abuse to be entered into evidence. And, the court can make an order that either/both the victim and the batterer have a psychiatric evaluation and a report would be made to the court.\n\nIf you don't know the number of your local domestic violence program you can call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). They can give you the number. It's also possible that someone from the local program can go to court with you. I worked for a domestic violence program for 11 years. We routinely went to court with victims.\n\nhttp://www.firstmedmarin.com/HIPPA.html\nAs Required By Law:\nWe may use or disclose your personal health information to the extent that such use or disclosure is required by law. This includes, but not limited to: Disclosure regarding victims of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence including reporting to social services or protective agencies

That information MAY show up on a background check.\n\nIt depends on where you are applying for work (not the state you live in). There are only 10 states that do not allow employers to ask about arrests. In Oregon, we have several employers who routinely demand a "police contact sheet" of all hires. This includes every time your name was on a police report - whether you did anything or not.  Since you were arrested - it can show up. \n\nEven if you went through a diversion program or met other requirements that would get rid of the conviction - it does not automatically disappear. You still have to get it expunged.  How you do that varies by state. Check with your local county court for more information. \n\nNote to others reading this - even Juvenile records are not automatically sealed.  There is a process that you have to go through and request they be sealed (in most states). \n\nAlso the law is what the state you are applying for work in says it is. If you have crimes in NY (that NY says can't be looked at after X years) and you apply for a job in Oregon, that job can and will consider those crimes anyway.

you must be honest and open to them.  don't ever let them find out on their own; thats just bad. if its for a job most places require you to tell them when you fill out the application. if the offense was against an adult you have a better chance of getting more understanding than those with which was convicted against a child. speaking as one who's been offended you should really be brutally honest. you might be working to get trust bigtime from whomever you tell, but you shouldn't hide it and there is no easy way to  tell them but don't lie about it. keeping it from them would be a lie.

Not exactly sure what you're asking.  You or your attorney should be able to file a Motion for Discovery (of evidence) with the prosecutor or court.  This asks for written/recorded statements of confessions make by you to law enforcement, your criminal record.

What did this person do before they met you? Were they in trouble? They had to do something for the department of corrections to have a record on them. Records are not made up.

What record? You don't have a permanent file, no matter what they told you in high school.\n\nIf it was with an employer you can consider it a done matter, if it was with probation or something similar it will only have legal ramifications.
