because of who they are . lots of times they are denied a job by many .
wouldn't it be a good idea to erase the criminal records or to not requiere them to report those records to those which have been at least 10 years whit a clean record and are not dangereous to society ( rapist , murderers and others alike should not be included ).

People are willing to behave feloniously. Some people want drugs and jobs. Many, many people live this life and will do anything to not punch the status quo (short of being an even bigger a$hole). I don't like people who batter children--sexually or otherwise. Therefore, I wouldn't hire such a person. It's a shame that I cannot hang my personal interests on a hangar in the closet for the sake of indiscriminate business. Business has built powerful media symbols. Whose behavior is worse: the cheap rap sheet -or- the derogatory media mogul ? The demographics say society needs money to live without an AK47 shoved down its thoat. The demographics say that people were underhanded the entire time. Neither side is any more right, but the rap sheet criminals are more numerous than the crooked executives. When a flock of seagulls gathers to copulate the beach will be a raunchy place for living.

People who commit violent or heinous crimes should indeed be denied certain rights such as gun ownership (but that does not stop many of them), or voting (most law-abiding citizens do not vote, though) or holding a public office. Mistakes like being caught with drugs or some other soft felony should not be relevant unless the job requires a good character (pharmacist, doctors, nurses, police, ect).
The military no longer wants the social cast offs either, and I am sure the honest enlistees would not want criminals within their ranks. Having someone of dubious character in a leadership position would lead to questions of the quality of the orders given.
It would be good to have a clean start for them if indeed these folks can keep a clean record for a number of years.

Part of the punishment for a felony is having that conviction on your permanent record. In the US we don't do such a great job at rehabilitating criminals and helping them enter society. Many places are willing to hire convicted felons provided the crimes commited wouldn't adversely affect the company. For instance a bank wouldn't hire an embezzeler and a pharmacy wouldn't hire a drug dealer. It's a rough world out there.

Ther is no such thing as an ex-felon. Once a felon always a felon. No, their records should not be erased. When one commits crimes against others they should be held in contempt and lose their rights as citizens. Many others in this society go all their lives without even being arrested. We tolerate being victimized and are very lienient with criminals as it is. Quit whining, you chose your course in life, now live with it!

Well considering they made the choice to commit the crime they should face up to the consiquences.
The military would be a good job for an ex-con to get his good reputation back. Show that they want to be a good contributor to society by defending it.

I think they can have some records "Expunged" not sure of spelling. They would probably need to talk with a lawyer or maybe a Judge. I guess judges will talk to people, but, not sure on that either.

no, ex-felons cannot get a security clearance in most cases and cannot be police officers or security officers as it should be. under your plan that would not be true, we could have child sex offenders teaching elementary school.
