Personally I haven't really view the SI in question, but as a purely
non-technical response I would suggest that the trem "prevention and
detaction" would be cover acts already detected. If a convition has
occured, surely the detection occured, and how can prevent a past event?
Surely we are not suggested that people continually offend?? :)

Subject: Criminal convictions
Dear All,
SI 2000 No. 417 states that sensitive data can be processed for the
purposes of the prevention or detection of any unlawful act.
Can I draw from this that I can process data relating to criminal
convictions without the consent of the subject?
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.
Thoughts welcome.
Becky
