Data gathered shows that positive Criminal Record results are split into two significant groups: Positive Offences, and Pending Cases.

Positive Offences are defined as instances where the individual has been arrested, charged, tried and convicted of the offence.

Pending cases indicate that the trial is not yet complete, and that the judge still has to make a ruling as to whether the individual is guilty or not. It is important to differentiate between these two groups. Employers should not discriminate against candidates with pending cases - but rather aim to recheck the candidate at regular intervals in the future.

All crimes have been classified into 10 major categories. Some of the crimes that fall into these categories are as follows:

CRIME CATEGORY	EXAMPLES OF CRIMES THAT FALL UNDER THIS CATEGORY
Commercial Crime	Selling, possession, buying of uncut diamonds. Hunting animals in a national park. Selling wildlife without a permit. Infringement of Copyright.
