The Bureau builds on existing arrangements that have been in place for a number of years. The authors argue that this development, which includes a much wider availability of criminal records, is an example of a new social policy that has the potential for unintended consequence of large scale social exclusion, by limiting the prospects of employment for ex-offenders.
