Found inWikipedia, Dec. 3, 2008 ("A criminal record is a record of a person's criminal history, generally used by potential employers, lenders etc. to assess his or her trustworthiness. The information included in a criminal record varies between countries and even between jurisdictions within a country. In most cases it lists all non-expunged criminal offenses and may also include traffic offenses such as speeding and drunk-driving. In some countries the record is limited to actual convictions (where the individual has pleaded guilty or been proven guilty in court of law), while in others it also includes arrests, charges dismissed, charges pending, and even charges of which the subject has been acquitted")
