Is expungement a good thing?

AJ Conte

Political Science

"I don't think that a person should have that over their heads especially after they have paid their debts. There is a stigma attached to having a record, and that makes it harder to mesh into society."

Corinne Fritz

Psychology

"If the crime is violent that might not be good for society, but smaller crimes, like a simple act of vandalism, and so on, should be okay to be expunged later."

Channing Harris

Business Management

"It depends on the crime, some crimes are unforgivable and the public should be aware of them. There are other things that might be on the record that could be misleading to someone reviewing them."

Rebecca Novotny

Psychology

"In some cases, people have been wrongfully convicted. Those people should not have a record of something that they did not do."
