本文讨论了是否有一个在欧洲大陆的犯罪背景调查的需求日益增加。报告还介绍了欧洲规范犯罪背景调查的立法框架，在欧洲，公共行政部门要求提供“无犯罪记录证明”，但没有具体法律规范私营雇主要求提供此类证明的权利。最后，文章提出了一些法律的保护前罪犯对越来越多的使用犯罪记录在就业市场上，并建议，法律可能是必要的，以规范私人雇主进行犯罪背景调查的权利。
This article discusses whether there is an increasing demand for criminal background checks in continental Europe. It also presents the legislative framework regulating criminal background checks in Europe where a requirement of ‘proof of a clean criminal record’ in public administration often co-exists with a situation where no specific laws regulate the rights of private employers to ask for such proof. Finally, the article suggests some legal protections for ex-offenders against the increasing use of criminal records in the job market and suggests that a law may be necessary to regulate the right of private employers to conduct criminal background checks.
