By James Calvin
When conducting due diligence research work, part of the process is free online searches for criminal records. You will be amazed to know how much you can learn through the Internet alone. A diverse medium, the Internet offers several web portals to tons of public record information which can help you with your free online searches for criminal records. Below are some of these websites, along with brief descriptions of the type of information they contain.
Just one more thing before conducting your free online searches for criminal records using the list of site below, understand that there is no such thing as a "nationwide" database of public records available either on line or off line. The closest you're ever going to get to a nationwide database is the FBI database and that is not considered public information. Therefore, your only choice in widening the scope of your free online searches for criminal records is to check out every available database out there. Doing it online is much cheaper and way more convenient than having to go out there and manually retrieving information from office data files.

Is there a list of criminal charges?
I’m really interested in reading all of the interesting charges and I was wondering if there was a site that listed all of the criminal charges and descriptions of them. I found one a few years ago but I can’t find it now.

Pick a state, All have different names and numbers for many charges.
Now go to google and put in the state followed by the words “criminal code” you will find a number of links to the state’s criminal code or charges as you call them. You now have the list for the state, with a definition and sentencing guidelines for each crime.
This one of the way we use the internet.

There are very few sites for pending criminal charges, if any.
Some newspapers publish court records, including arraignments, and you may want to go to the website for the city or town newspaper the individual may have been arrested or charged in.

Nope. There is no such thing as free. You could call your local sheriff’s dept. and they may tell you if it’s you. If you have a cop as a friend, they could find out for ya.

Where can I find a list of criminal charges in VA?
If it had a sentence for each charge would be even better.
What I would like to know is what can a person be charged with, for instance if trying to kill someone what can he be charged with i/e attempted murder, attempted manslaughter (?), attempted homicide (?), assault with intent to kill etc.
Also, what the sentence would be would be great.
Thanks,
