This book examines the increasing retention and use of previous
criminal record information, within and beyond the criminal justice
system. There remains a misconception that once an offender has
served the penalty for an offence, his or her dealings with the law
and legal system in relation to that offence is at an end. This
book demonstrates that in fact the criminal record lingers and
permeates facets of the person's life far beyond the de jure
sentence. Criminal records are relied upon by key decision makers
at all stages of the formal criminal process, from the police to
the judiciary. Convictions can affect areas of policing, bail,
trial procedure and sentencing, which the author discusses.
Furthermore, with the increasing intensifying of surveillance
techniques in the interests of security, ex-offenders are monitored
more closely post release and these provisions are explored here.
Even beyond the formal criminal justice system, individuals can
continue to experience many collateral consequences of a conviction
whereby access to employment, travel and licenses (among other
areas of social activity) can be limited as a consequence of
disclosure requirements. Overall, this book examines the perpetual
nature of criminal convictions through the evolution of criminal
record use, focussing on the Irish perspective, and also considers
the impact from a broader international perspective.
