neutral  writeaway: but it shouldn't really be translated. Leave it in Fr with En in ( ). so people can find their way back to it. fwiw, I don't agree with the translation.

neutral  Kirsten Bodart: In England and Wales this would be called the Criminal Records Bureau, but not in Northern Ireland and Scotland, nor anywhere else. It depends what this translation is for.

neutral  Sheila Wilson: I would have thought "criminal" would need to be used here - the police keep records that do not find their way onto the c.j.

Oops, the typo in the first Example sentence is mine (not in the original Belgian reference). Sorry about that; should be "the central database of criminal convictions"

But note that even here, "CJC/CSR" was used as a gloss, which is somewhat oblique for the unfamiliar.

Example sentence(s):
  • The Central Criminal Record (CJC/CSR), the central database of criminal convicions...
  • If you live abroad and wish to obtain a Belgian copy of a criminal record (« extrait de casier judiciaire »)...
