A lot of the money is taken by the governments of the less developed countries, and a great amount of the sum are not being used to the purposes they are meant for.

From Miranda rights to the right of free council the steps must be followed in order to insure a fair trial for the accused. This process is well defined for everyone involved in the case. Although this process has steps that some may see as trivial, it must be followed in order to prosecute effectively.
Crime control method is at the other end of the spectrum of the law. .....

Communism In The USSR
Words: 930 - Pages: 4.... people who were elected from each area and these were supposed to be the government. They were supposed to make the decisions, elect all the other government officials and all the other very important things. That made the ordinary man think that the government is controlled by people just like him, with only high school education (some even without it), poor, being in politics for the first time in their lives. That is impossible. Such people can run no government.
