Summary
In our modern society, a criminal record can limit a persons opportunities and the quality of life they can achieve for themselves and their families for years, and even decades, after that person has completed the terms of the criminal sentence imposed. Even the existence of an arrest record with no conviction can limit job opportunities, housing, access to higher education, credit, and access to jobs that require professional licensing.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 4, Title 10, Title 11, And Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating Expungement Of Records Of Adult Arrest And Conviction.
