TYPES OF ABUSE

Primarily this applies in the area of enforcing the law. Whilst most bureaucrats are responsible people, too often there are those who become obsessed with the power that their position gives them and they enforce law without thought to the suffering and pain (and sometimes death) that their action can lead to. It is believed that as much as 25% of suicide in western countries can be attributed directly back to the actions of government departments or staff in one way or another. Like politicians, because they are generally not answerable for their actions, they can do as they like.
