The eternal criminal record/ James B. Jacobs.
No full textIn English.Includes bibliographical references and index.For over sixty million Americans, possessing a criminal record overshadows everything else about their public identity. A rap sheet, or even a court appearance or background report that reveals a run-in with the law, can have fateful consequences for a person's interactions with just about everyone else. The Eternal Criminal Record makes transparent a pervasive system of police databases and identity screening that has become a routine feature of American life. The United States is unique in making criminal information easy to obtain by employers, landlords, neighbors, even cyberstalkers. Its nationally integrated rap-sheet system is second to none as an effective law enforcement tool, but it has also facilitated the transfer of ever more sensitive information into the public domain. While there are good reasons for a person's criminal past to be public knowledge, records of arrests that fail to result in convictions are of questionable benefit. Simply by placing someone under arrest, a police officer has the power to tag a person with a legal history that effectively incriminates him or her for life. In James Jacobs's view, law-abiding citizens have a right to know when individuals in their community or workplace represent a potential threat. But convicted persons have rights, too. Jacobs closely examines the problems created by erroneous record keeping, critiques the way the records of individuals who go years without a new conviction are expunged, and proposes strategies for eliminating discrimination based on criminal history, such as certifying the records of those who have demonstrated their rehabilitation. -- from dust jacket.Intelligence and investigative databases -- Linking bodies to criminal histories -- Court records -- Privatizing criminal records -- Whether to create a criminal record -- Sealing, purging, and amending conviction records -- Erroneous records problems -- Transparency of criminal convictions -- Public access to arrestee information -- Publicly accessible criminal records and punishment theory -- Criminal justice consequences of a criminal record -- Second-class citizens by law -- Employment discrimination based on a criminal record.1 online resource (xv, 396 pages
Jacobs, Trenholme & Co. business card, 1901
No full textThe business card pictured here is from Jacobs, Trenholme & Co., a local storage company that advertised in "The Seattle Times" at least from 1900-1902. The business was initially known as Morgan, Jacobs & Trenholme, but at some point it became solely associated with Charles H. Jacobs (1850-) and James Dickson Trenholme (1866-1919). An inscription on the back of the business card signed "Jacobs" seems to refer to an entry in the "Seattle Trade Register," the first commercial newspaper in Seattle.Handwritten on verso: "Mr. Wood, Trade Reg - Mon. Will you [illegible] cuts with this Argus man for a week or two, Jacobs, 11/22/01." In a different hand: "Rec'd C. A. Gowler."1 business card; 4.25 x 2.5 in
