свидетелство за съдимост

В българската практика и съгласно българското процесуално право свидетелството за съдимост е документът, който отговаря на conduct certificate или criminal record certificate. Това се свързва и със следващия Ви въпрос за институцията, издаваща тези документи (Criminal Records Office), която в България се нарича Бюро "Съдимост". По едно такова Бюро "Съдимост" има към всеки окръжен съд и към Софийски градски съд.

The British Empire

The first attempts by Great Britain to create efficient administrative machinery arose from its commitment to govern India and to avoid in that country the periodic scandals that marked some of the rule of the East India Company. Robert Clive, appointed governor of Bengal for the second time in 1764, introduced a code of practice that prohibited servants of the company from trading on their own account or accepting gifts from native traders. Subsequent governors strengthened the ban, compensating for the loss of benefits by substantially increasing salaries, introducing promotion by seniority, and reorganizing the higher echelons of administration. Recruitment was carried on by the company in London, and after 1813 entrants to the civil service had to study the history, language, and laws of India for a period of four terms at Haileybury College, England, and to obtain a certificate of good conduct before taking up their posts. As a result of advocacy by Thomas Macaulay, secretary to the board of control, examination rather than patronage was adopted as a recruitment method. New rules from 1833 stipulated that four candidates had to be nominated for each vacancy and that they were to compete with one another in “an examination in such branches of knowledge and by such examinations as the Board of the Company shall direct.”
