Bankruptcy isn't associated with a criminal record, as it's not against the law to file bankruptcy.
If, however, you're asking how long a bankruptcy will stay on your credit report and 'on your file' you should be aware it will stay on your credit report (all 3 agencies) for 10 years. Other 'negative information' can (and probably will) be listed for 7 years.
For full information or any other questions, please refer to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA(http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre34.shtm).
Hope that helps.
