- Rehabilitation_of_Offenders_Act_1974 abstract "The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (c.53) of the UK Parliament enables some criminal convictions to be ignored after a rehabilitation period. Its purpose is that people do not have a lifelong blot on their records because of a relatively minor offence in their past. The rehabilitation period is automatically determined by the sentence, and starts on the day the sentence has been served. After this period, if there has been no further conviction the conviction is "spent" and, with certain exceptions, need not be disclosed by the ex-offender in any context such as when applying for a job, obtaining insurance, or in civil proceedings. Under the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, the Act was updated to reflect new rehabilitation periods- with most convictions becoming spent in a shorter amount of time. For adults, the rehabilitation period is 1 year for community orders, 2 years for custodial sentences of 6 months or less, 4 years for custodial sentences of over 6 months and up to and including 30 months, and 7 years for custodial sentences of over 30 months and up to and including 48 months. Sentences of over 4 years will never become spent and must continue to be disclosed when necessary. The rehabilitation period starts after the offender has completed his/her sentence, this includes time on license. For example an offender who received a 2 year prison sentence will see his/her conviction spent 6 years from date of conviction- (2 year sentence + 4 year rehabilitation period). For offenders who are under the age of 18 when convicted, their rehabilitation period is half of what an adult's rehabilitation period would be.A conviction that is spent and need not be divulged under British law may not be so considered elsewhere. For example, criminal convictions must be disclosed when applying to enter the United States; spent convictions are not excluded.".
