There is no comprehensive collection of criminal record information, which is why address history checks are a smart addition to any background screening process. That way, employers can figure out where their candidates have lived over the years and order county, state, or federal checks based on those locations.<\/p>\n<p>While the specific criminal records a background check finds will depend on location factors, most criminal history checks yield the same\u00a0<em>types\u00a0<\/em>of information.

However, in some cases, criminal charges that did not result in a formal guilty verdict will show up on the background check as well. Charges that are pending a verdict because the trial is still in progress are an example. Another example is a case where there has been some sort of deferred judgment. In these cases, the defendant has a chance to get the charges against them dismissed by going through some sort of diversion program\u2014be it rehab, community service, or something similar. Even if the defendant is working toward that dismissal, the case will still show on his or her background check.<\/p>\n<p>As for what won\u2019t show up on a background check, there are two major categories.<\/p>\n<p>The first category is expunged cases. Any criminal records that have been formally expunged or sealed by the court should not show on any criminal background check.<\/p>\n<p>The second category is\u00a0<br \/>\n  <g class=\"gr_ gr_52 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"52\" data-gr-id=\"52\"><br \/>\n   arrest<br \/>\n  <\/g>\u00a0records. While some background checks will include arrest data, the reports we provide at Blinkx do not. Some states legally bar the use of arrest records in employment situations, while most encourage employers to investigate those arrests more fully. We protect our clients from compliance snafus by eliminating arrest records from our reports entirely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What shows up on a criminal history check will vary based on the type of background check being used.
