Depending on how thorough they want to be they could check any of the following:
1. Driving Record
2. Criminal Record
2. A. Federal
2. B. State
3. Credit Report
4. Work History
5. Education

It can be both, depends on the industry.
If you aren't going into finance, then probably just criminal background check.

it depends on the job you are trying to get. My company for instance, does background checks. If you are applying for a job in accounting, then they will do a credit check. It makes sence if you are late on your bills, then how will they know that you will not be late w/the company money.

Pre-employment screening is used by many businesses to verify the accuracy of applicants’ employment history, educational history, and credentials, as well as confirming the lack of criminal history, workers compensation claims, and sanctions. (Wikipedia)

IN A LOT OF CASES IT IS BOTH.
BACKGROUND CHECK IS A WAY OF CHECKING ON YOUR CHARACTER.
