Guarding Against The Significant Consequences Of A Conviction
A theft conviction can have a devastating effect on your future. People will look at you differently if you have a theft conviction on your record. An employer may decide not to hire you, and a police officer checking your criminal history may treat you differently than someone with a clean record.
