Can I draw from this that I can process data relating to criminal

I wonder whether this principle could be extended to data relating to spent
convictions? Surely it could if the purpose of that processing was to
prevent or detect an unlawful act. >>

Yes, all the above assumptions are correct. But only if you are a time
traveller and intend to stop those unlawful acts occurring in the first
place. But then you'd be breaking other laws, such as those of time and
space.
Sounds like a good idea for a TV programme!!
