About this title

Synopsis

The effect of a criminal record can be long-lasting and damaging.

Criminal Records, Privacy and the Criminal Justice System: A Practical Handbook provides you with an understanding of the law surrounding the publicity of criminal proceedings, the creation and retention of police records, and the remedies available to an individual who wishes to amend or erase these records, or to prevent them from becoming available to third parties.

The authors guide you through the steps that can be taken to delete police records, challenge the content of criminal record certificates, expunge criminal cautions, and bring claims protecting the privacy and data protection rights of clients.

The Second Edition also includes:

- Updated APP guidance on the retention of material on local police systems
- The most up-to-date caselaw in relation to all the topics covered
- Guidance on the handling of spent convictions and the DBS disclosure regime
- Guidance on the content of letters of representations

As the only handbook of its kind addressing public and private law claims under one title, this is an indispensable guide for criminal and public law solicitors and barristers, law centres, CABs and PR firms.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Intellectual Property and IT online service.
