Will probation leave a criminal record?

Legal analysis: if the sentence is suspended, there is still a criminal record, which will be preserved for life.

Legal basis: Article 72 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if a criminal sentenced to criminal detention or fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years meets the following conditions at the same time, he may be suspended, and suspended for people under the age of 18, pregnant women and people who have reached the age of 75:

(a) the circumstances of the crime are relatively minor;

(2) showing repentance;

(3) There is no danger of committing a crime again;

(four) the announcement of probation has no significant adverse effects on the community where he lives.

Probation can be announced according to the circumstances of the crime, and criminals are prohibited from engaging in specific activities, entering specific areas, places and contacting specific personnel during the probation period of probation.

If a suspended criminal is sentenced to an additional punishment, the additional punishment shall still be executed.
