I like to handle my own problems my own way. But sometimes it not the right way to go about things. I sometimes wish I can go back and try everything again to see if I would handle it in a different way.

    Expungement of a juvenile record following a conviction in adult criminal court was the question in People v. Smith 470 NW2d 70 (“People v. Smith,” n.d.). Ricky Franklin Smith plead guilty in adult criminal court of breaking and entering into a building with the intent to commit larceny and of being a habitual offender (4th offense). Smith was sentenced to 3.5-10 years in prison for the crime, only to have the sentence later vacated, as he was deemed a habitual offender.

After multiple attempts of filling out the SMART Goals Worksheet, I decided that I would set a goal that could further my career in law enforcement.…

    The author of this research paper explores why knowledge of prior criminal history affects the health care standards in correctional facilities. The access to past criminal history of patients being treated in correctional facilities is said to be primarily responsible for the poor treatment they tend to receive when seeking medical attention as inmates. Despite efforts to separate an inmates’ criminal past from those responsible in providing medical care; criminal history of individuals is publicly accessible and difficult to restrict. Society as a whole tends to hold a bias toward specific types of crimes committed against their citizens, such as: rape, child molestation, and human trafficking. Individuals convicted of these types of crimes are often subject to bias when receiving medical treatment while incarcerated.…

    Felons in the Social Work Educational Environment Maggie Clark York College Felons in the Social Work Educational Environment When a person commits an offense that is legally classifiable as a felony, they lose certain rights and privileges that extend after the time that they serve their time for the offense. For example, a felon is no longer allowed to vote, serve on a jury, or apply to become a lawyer in many states (Penaloza, 2012). One of the professions that also follows this standard is the field of social work. For example, Youngstown State University (YSU) in Ohio indicates that while a qualified student with a past felony conviction may be admitted to their Master of Social Work program, they may have difficulty…

    If you have a record from juvenile court, you might be able to clear your record by using your state’s procedures to expunge (seal, or sometimes destroy) that record (Portman, 2014.) Once your record is expunged, in most situations it’s treated as if it never happened (Portman, 2014.) When questioned by potential landlords, employers, some licensing agencies and others, you can legitimately say that you were never arrested or found by a judge to be a delinquent juvenile (Portman, 2014.) Expunging your record may not universally remove the consequences of having been found to be a juvenile delinquent, however (Portman, 2014.)…
