Why criminal background checks?
>From my observation there are a few reasons why a consumer would
want to get a criminal background check:
-to protect their children
-to protect themselves
-to know what a potential employer might discover about them
Of course, there are many reasons why a criminal background
check would be desired but overall they should fall under
one of these categories.
Protect Children
Knowing the background of those involved with children should be
of utmost importance. The threat of child molestors in today's
society is real and growing. A criminal background check can
help parents be more selective of those who attend their
children whether it be at school, church, or at home.
Protect Yourself
More and more people are turning to online dating sites because
of their ease of use and privacy. Increasing work hours and
decreasing leisure hours are driving many singles to use these
dating services.
Enter criminal background checks. You cannot take
someone's word over the internet that they are as nice and
trustworthy as they claim. Always search their history with a
criminal background check. It just might save your life.
Pre-employment
Are you applying for a job and wondering if the employer is
going to see your criminal record? Is there something on your
record that you should disclose to the employer ahead of time?
It would be awful if they read your rapsheet before you could
explain it to them.
Perhaps you have had something expunged from your record. Have
you verified that it is no longer being reported? Get a criminal
background check just to make sure.
