This text provides a historical account of the development of criminal record systems in the UK, USA and Europe. It reviews, in a non-technical manner, present organisational systems of storage, maintenance and dissemination of information held in central criminal record repositories, and explores the purpose and function of those record systems, both inside and outside the criminal justice system. The authors examine the social implications of disclosure, together with an analysis of the politics of protection.
