Abuse of authority, in the form of political corruption, is the use of legislated powers by government officials for illegitimate private gain. Misuse of government power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is not considered political corruption. Neither are illegal acts by private persons or corporations not directly involved with the government. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties.

Q. Which approach makes more sense to you? Should drug companies make drugs that are highly toxic if abused (shot up, ect) to discourage their abuse, or should they make drugs that are safer even if abused, not because you want them to be abused but because you believe in harm reduction? If making the pills more toxic turns out to not dissuade everyone from abusing these drugs, it is ethical to be increasing the harm these people experience when that harm could be reduced? Many binders and time release formulations are dangerous to people who shoot up. They shouldnt be shooting up anyway, but if we are further endangering their lives are we doing the right thing? Another thing is additives like tylenol in Vocodin and Percocet. Despite what… [cont.] Asked by Nick Jinn - Sun Dec 6 09:06:26 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. First off. They should crack down on pill docters cause that is most of the cause of these kinds of drugs. Also i have alot of friends that get xanax from physcatrists. They go in there and say that there family doctor perscribes them this and they do not check. Really they have done all that they can do for this. Making them illegal makes people want to do it more, thats just the way life works. My answer if its not affecting you dont worry about it. Answered by tony - Tue Dec 8 19:07:23 2009 What are some of the reasons why domestic abuse victim might not report it to the authorities? Q. Writing an essay on domestic abuse (focusing mainly on domestic violence) I understand that a victim may fear that the abuse will become worse if the abuser finds out it's been reported, and that victims of any abuse are made to feel guilty and as though it's somehow their fault. However, are there any other reasons? I'm trying to be as detailed as possible. Asked by Kit - Sun Nov 2 04:56:35 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am going to state the reasons that will not have a victim report abuse and since commonly the abuser is male and victim female I will refer to them as that but baring in mind that abusers are also females and abuse is common in homosexual relationships. Also fear is one of the main elements but I will try to provide a variety of other reasons. Studies have shown that it is harder to convince judges and juries to convict in abuse cases, because of prejudices against complainants as well as misconceptions about what "type" of man would commit such a crime. Courts can reserve a certain scepticism and disparaging biases against females are still the rule of the day in courts even amongst female employees. The police and courts may have… [cont.] Answered by Angel - Tue Nov 4 06:27:11 2008 How can you characterize verbal abuse that is based on the tone of voice a person uses?
Q. Please help me find the right word. Note: This is in response to a boss who speaks to employees in a very demoralizing manner. But when what was said is explained to a third party, it doesn't capture the abuse accurately. Asked by Andi - Wed Jun 25 22:58:13 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. The tape recorder idea is excellent! In terms of legality; most state laws require that only one party consent to the recording of a conversation without the legal obligation of informing any other party. It becomes illegal when a person records a conversation between two others...check your state laws if you think this could help you, and there are plenty of inconspicious voice recording gadgets out there. Your question was actually to "characterize" this sort of abuse. As you know it is a form of verbal abuse...but in a subcategory like yelling, cursing, insulting, mocking...you get the picure. If I were to give it a name I would call it "abusive tone." Is your boss older, constantly stressed, perhaps overweight?
