This has the potential to be good or bad. The bad side I can see is a company such as a bank might like a candidate's qualifications only to find out they have a fraud conviction. Then the bank is out the money and hassle of interviewing someone and has to start from square one. On the other hand I don't believe people should be barred from employment simply because they have a criminal record. A good friend of mine who is an honest and hard working person has a manslaughter conviction and you would never know it. Basically someone broke into his home and threatened his family so he lost control of his temper and the guy ended up dieing. There are always circumstances to everything.
