depends if its for a traffic ticket I doubt it if it was for drugs, violence ect then it could be a factor.
depends on how old you were when it happened.

Lower-level clearances won't be too problematic; however, the more secure clearances will be denied to you.

Depending on the seriousness of the crime, YES!

Perhaps - it depends what you did and when. It certainly doesn't help!
