Criminal Record

A criminal record is a record of a person’s criminal history, including information about any arrests, charges, and convictions for criminal offenses. Criminal records are typically maintained by law enforcement agencies, and may be available to the public, depending on the laws of a particular jurisdiction. In the United States, for example, criminal records are maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and are available to certain authorized individuals and organizations, such as law enforcement agencies and employers conducting background checks. Criminal records can have significant impacts on an individual’s life, including their ability to obtain employment, housing, and other opportunities.
