The Other Side of Justice: A Look at Rehabilitated and Otherwise Harmless Persons And The Long Term Effect Of Having a Criminal Record Summary: Two strikes and you’re out! In Ohio, because expungements are reserved for first time criminal offenders only, one may be treated as a career criminal after the second conviction of a misdemeanor and/or felony offense. In many states one may be treated as such even after his or her first criminal offense where expungement is not available at all. Because there are no restrictions on the use of a person’s conviction status, the state of Ohio and its employers may exclude a person from employment and other opportunities based solely upon their conviction status, whether one is truly a career criminal or not. Within this loose standard, the author explores specific research on: (1) the opinions of Ohio municipal court judges on the policy and practice of expungement and (2) the rate of expungements granted for persons convicted of a first offense in the Cleveland Municipal Court Selective Intervention Program. The goal of the research is to observe both how the justice system sees and responds to rehabilitated and otherwise harmless persons with a criminal record and what effect having the criminal record has on those persons’ ability to compete for available job opportunities. This research also identifies what support there is for ending indefinite punishment placed on those rehabilitated and otherwise harmless persons who may be denied employment opportunities based solely upon their having a criminal record. The significance of this research is that it addresses the fact that years after their last conviction, rehabilitated and otherwise harmless persons with criminal records who are otherwise qualified for a job, are often treated by employers, the justice system, and society the same as if they were habitually criminal persons because of their convictions status.
