She was found 19 months after being abducted , by which time she was a fugitive wanted for serious crimes committed with members of the group . She was held in custody , and there was speculation before trial that her family 's resources would enable her to avoid time in jail . At her trial , the prosecution suggested that Hearst had joined the Symbionese Liberation Army of her own volition . However , she testified that she had been raped and threatened with death while held captive . In 1976 , she was convicted for the crime of bank robbery and sentenced to 35 years in prison , later reduced to 7 years .

After the death of his father in 1953 , Carter left his naval career and returned home to Georgia to take up the reins of his family 's peanut-growing business . Carter inherited comparatively little due to his father 's forgiveness of debts and the division of the estate among the children . Nevertheless , his ambition to expand and grow the Carters ' peanut business was fulfilled . During this period , Carter was motivated to oppose the political climate of racial segregation and support the growing civil rights movement . He became an activist within the Democratic Party . From 1963 to 1967 , Carter served in the Georgia State Senate , and in 1970 , he was elected as Governor of Georgia , defeating former Governor Carl Sanders in the Democratic primary on an anti-segregation platform advocating affirmative action for ethnic minorities .

Acquiring more newspapers , Hearst created a chain that numbered nearly 30 papers in major American cities at its peak . He later expanded to magazines , creating the largest newspaper and magazine business in the world . Hearst controlled the editorial positions and coverage of political news in all his papers and magazines , and thereby often published his personal views .

He was twice elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives . He ran unsuccessfully for President of the United States in 1904 , Mayor of New York City in 1905 and 1909 , and for Governor of New York in 1906 .
The United Federated Forces of the Symbionese Liberation Army ( SLA ) was an American left-wing terrorist organization active between 1973 and 1975 that considered itself a vanguard army . The group committed bank robberies , two murders , and other acts of violence . The SLA became internationally notorious for the kidnapping of heiress Patricia Hearst , abducting the 19-year-old from Berkeley , California . Interest increased when Hearst , in audiotaped messages delivered to ( and broadcast by ) regional news media , announced that she had joined the SLA . Hearst later said that members of the terrorist group threatened to kill her , held her in close confinement , and sexually assaulted and brainwashed her . As of 2017 , all but one of the surviving SLA members have been released from prison .

Perjury is the intentional act of swearing a false oath or falsifying an affirmation to tell the truth , whether spoken or in writing , concerning matters material to an official proceeding . [ A ] In some jurisdictions , contrary to popular misconception , no crime has occurred when a false statement is ( intentionally or unintentionally ) made while under oath or subject to penalty . Instead , criminal culpability attaches only at the instant the declarant falsely asserts the truth of statements ( made or to be made ) that are material to the outcome of the proceeding . For example , it is not perjury to lie about one 's age except if age is a fact material to influencing the legal result , such as eligibility for old age retirement benefits or whether a person was of an age to have legal capacity . Perjury is considered a serious offense , as it can be used to usurp the power of the courts , resulting in miscarriages of justice . In the United States , for example , the general perjury statute under federal law classifies perjury as a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to five years . The California Penal Code allows for perjury to be a capital offense in cases causing wrongful execution . Perjury which caused the wrongful execution of another or in the pursuit of causing the wrongful execution of another is respectively construed as murder or attempted murder , and is normally itself punishable by execution in countries that retain the death penalty . Perjury is considered a felony in most U.S. states as well as most Australian states . In Queensland , under Section 124 of the Queensland Criminal Code Act 1899 , perjury is punishable by up to life in prison if it is committed to procure an innocent person for a crime that is punishable by life in prison . However , prosecutions for perjury are rare . In some countries such as France and Italy , suspects can not be heard under oath or affirmation and so can not commit perjury , regardless of what they say during their trial .
The United States federal Superfund law is officially known as the Comprehensive Environmental Response , Compensation , and Liability Act of 1980 ( CERCLA ) . The federal Superfund program , administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) is designed to investigate and clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances . Sites managed under this program are referred to as Superfund sites . There are 40,000 federal Superfund sites across the country , and approximately 1,600 of those sites have been listed on the National Priorities List ( NPL ) . Sites on the NPL are considered the most highly contaminated and undergo longer-term remedial investigation and remedial action ( cleanups ) . The EPA seeks to identify parties responsible for hazardous substances releases to the environment ( polluters ) and either compel them to clean up the sites , or it may undertake the cleanup on its own using the Superfund ( a trust fund ) and seek to recover those costs from the responsible parties through settlements or other legal means . Approximately 70% of Superfund cleanup activities historically have been paid for by the potentially responsible parties ( PRPs ) , the latter reflecting the polluter pays principle . However , 30% of the time the responsible party either can not be found or is unable to pay for the cleanup . In these circumstances , taxpayers pay for the cleanup . Through the 1980s , most of the funding came from a tax passed on to the consumers of petroleum and chemical products . However , in 1995 , Congress chose not to renew this tax and the burden of the cost was shifted to tax payers . Since 2001 , most of the cleanup of hazardous waste sites has been funded through taxpayers generally .

A high-yield bond ( non-investment-grade bond , speculative-grade bond , or junk bond ) is a term in finance for a bond that is rated below investment grade .

Rodney Glen King ( April 2 , 1965 - June 17 , 2012 ) was an American construction worker turned writer and activist after surviving an act of police brutality by the Los Angeles Police Department . On March 3 , 1991 , King was violently beaten by LAPD officers during his arrest for fleeing and resisting arrest on California State Route 210 . A civilian , George Holliday , filmed the incident from his nearby balcony and sent the footage to local news station KTLA . The footage clearly showed King being beaten repeatedly , and the incident was covered by news media around the world . The four officers were tried on charges of use of police brutality ; three were acquitted , and the jury failed to reach a verdict on one charge for the fourth . Within hours of the acquittals , the 1992 Los Angeles riots started , sparked by outrage among African Americans over the trial 's verdict and related , longstanding social issues . The rioting lasted six days and killed 63 people with 2,383 more injured ; it ended only after the California Army National Guard , the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps provided reinforcements to re-establish control . The federal government prosecuted a separate civil rights case , obtaining grand jury indictments of the four officers for violations of King 's civil rights . Their trial in a federal district court ended on April 16 , 1993 , with two of the officers being found guilty and sentenced to serve prison terms . The other two were acquitted of the charges . In a separate suit , the city of Los Angeles awarded King $ 3.8 million in damages . He attempted to start a business , but was not successful .
The 1992 Los Angeles riots were a series of riots and civil disturbances that occurred in Los Angeles County in April and May 1992 . Unrest began in South Central Los Angeles on April 29 , after a trial jury acquitted four officers of the Los Angeles Police Department ( LAPD ) for usage of excessive force in the arrest and beating of Rodney King , which had been videotaped and widely viewed in TV broadcasts . The rioting spread throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area , as thousands of people rioted over a six-day period following the announcement of the verdict . Widespread looting , assault , arson , and murder occurred during the riots , in which local police could not put down due to lack of personnel and resources against the sheer number of rioters . The complete disorder in the Los Angeles area was resolved , after the California Army National Guard , the United States military , and several federal law enforcement agencies intervened to keep order and peace within L.A. County . When the riot ended , 63 people were killed , and 2,383 people were injured , with more than 12,000 arrests , and estimates of property damage were over $ 1 billion . LAPD Chief of Police Daryl Gates , who had already announced his resignation by the time of the riots , was attributed with much of the blame .

Tax evasion is the illegal evasion of taxes by individuals , corporations , and trusts . Tax evasion often entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability and includes dishonest tax reporting , such as declaring less income , profits or gains than the amounts actually earned , or overstating deductions . Tax evasion is an activity commonly associated with the informal economy . One measure of the extent of tax evasion ( the tax gap ) is the amount of unreported income , which is the difference between the amount of income that should be reported to the tax authorities and the actual amount reported . In contrast , tax avoidance is the legal use of tax laws to reduce one 's tax burden . Both tax evasion and avoidance can be viewed as forms of tax noncompliance , as they describe a range of activities that intend to subvert a state 's tax system , although such classification of tax avoidance is not indisputable , given that avoidance is lawful , within self-creating systems .
Money laundering is the illegal process of concealing the origins of money obtained illegally by passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions . The overall scheme of this process returns the money to the launderer in an obscure and indirect way . One problem of criminal activities is accounting for the proceeds without raising the suspicion of law enforcement agencies . Considerable time and effort may be put into strategies which enable the safe use of those proceeds without raising unwanted suspicion . Implementing such strategies is generally called money laundering . After money has been laundered , it can be used for legitimate purposes . Law enforcement agencies of many jurisdictions have set up sophisticated systems in an effort to detect suspicious transactions or activities , and many have set up international cooperative arrangements to assist each other in these endeavors . The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ( UNODC ) estimates that The estimated amount of money laundered globally in one year is 2-5% of global GDP , or $ 800 billion - $ 2 trillion in current US dollars . In a number of legal and regulatory systems , the term money laundering has become conflated with other forms of financial and business crime , and is sometimes used more generally to include misuse of the financial system ( involving things such as securities , digital currencies , credit cards , and traditional currency ) , including terrorism financing and evasion of international sanctions . Most anti-money laundering laws openly conflate money laundering ( which is concerned with source of funds ) with terrorism financing ( which is concerned with destination of funds ) when regulating the financial system . Some countries treat obfuscation of sources of money as also constituting money laundering , whether it is intentional or by merely using financial systems or services that do not identify or track sources or destinations . Other countries define money laundering in such a way as to include money from activity that would have been a crime in that country , even if the activity was legal where the actual conduct occurred .
Pavlo Ivanovych Lazarenko ( Ukrainian : Павло Іванович Лазаренко ; born 23 January 1953 ) is a former Ukrainian politician and former Prime Minister who in August 2006 was convicted and sentenced to prison in the United States for money laundering , wire fraud and extortion . According to United Nations , approximately US $ 200 million was embezzled by Lazarenko during 1996-97 from the government of Ukraine .
A prime minister is the head of a cabinet and the leader of the ministers in the executive branch of government , often in a parliamentary or semi-presidential system . A prime minister is not the head of state of their respective nation nor a monarch , rather they are the head of government , serving typically under a monarch in a hybrid of aristocratic and democratic government forms or a president in a republican form of government . In parliamentary systems fashioned after the Westminster system , the prime minister is the presiding and actual head of government and head of the executive branch . In such systems , the head of state or the head of state 's official representative ( often the monarch , president , or governor-general ) usually holds a largely ceremonial position , although often with reserve powers . In many systems , the prime minister selects and may dismiss other members of the cabinet , and allocates posts to members within the government . In most systems , the prime minister is the presiding member and chairman of the cabinet . In a minority of systems , notably in semi-presidential systems of government , a prime minister is the official who is appointed to manage the civil service and execute the directives of the head of state .
Ukraine ( Ukrainian : Україна , romanized : Ukrayina , pronounced [ ʊkrɐˈjinɐ ] ( listen ) ) is a country in Eastern Europe . It is bordered by Russia to the north-east ; Belarus to the north ; Poland , Slovakia and Hungary to the west ; and Romania , Moldova , and the Black Sea to the south .

Ukrainian is the official language and its alphabet is Cyrillic . The dominant religion in the country is Eastern Orthodoxy . The territory of modern Ukraine has been inhabited since 32,000 BC . During the Middle Ages , the area was a key centre of East Slavic culture , with the powerful state of Kievan Rus ' forming the basis of Ukrainian identity . Following its fragmentation in the 13th century , the territory was contested , ruled and divided by a variety of powers , including the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth , Austria-Hungary , the Ottoman Empire and Russia . A Cossack republic emerged and prospered during the 17th and 18th centuries , but its territory was eventually split between Poland and the Russian Empire .
Eco-terrorism is an act of violence committed in support of ecological or environmental causes , against people or property . The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation defines eco-terrorism as .the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented , subnational group for environmental-political reasons , or aimed at an audience beyond the target , often of a symbolic nature . The FBI credited eco-terrorists with US $ 200 million in property damage between 2003 and 2008 . A majority of states in the US have introduced laws aimed at penalizing eco-terrorism . Eco-terrorism is a form of radical environmentalism that arose out of the same school of thought that brought about deep ecology , ecofeminism , social ecology , and bioregionalism . Eco-terrorism is a controversial term . Some eco-terrorists are people fighting to preserve their environment with the belief that they are preserving their existence . Examples of such ecoterrorists include tribal ethnic minorities such as the Waorani .
The Earth Liberation Front ( ELF ) , also known as Elves or The Elves , is the collective name for autonomous individuals or covert cells who , according to the ELF Press Office , use economic sabotage and guerrilla warfare to stop the exploitation and destruction of the environment . The ELF was founded in Brighton in the United Kingdom in 1992 , and spread to the rest of Europe by 1994 . It is now an international organization with actions reported in 17 countries and is widely regarded as descending from Animal Liberation Front because of the relationship and cooperation between the two movements . Using the same leaderless resistance model , as well as similar guidelines to the ALF , sympathizers say that it is an eco-defense group dedicated to taking the profit motive out of environmental destruction by causing economic damage to businesses through the use of property damage . The ELF was classified as the top domestic terror threat in the United States by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in March 2001 , and its members classified as eco-terrorists . On the lack of deaths from ELF attacks , the FBI 's deputy assistant director for counterterrorism has said , I think we 're lucky . Once you set one of these fires they can go way out of control . The name came to public prominence when they were featured on the television show 60 Minutes in 2005 . The group was further highlighted in the 2011 Academy Award nominated documentary If a Tree Falls : A Story of the Earth Liberation Front .
Arson is the crime of willfully and maliciously setting fire to or charring property . Though the act typically involves buildings , the term arson can also refer to the intentional burning of other things , such as motor vehicles , watercraft , or forests . The crime is typically classified as a felony , with instances involving a greater degree of risk to human life or property carrying a stricter penalty . A common motive for arson is to commit insurance fraud . In such cases , a person destroys their own property by burning it and then lies about the cause in order to collect against their insurance policy . A person who commits arson is called an 'arsonist ' .

Sport utility vehicle ( SUV ) is a category of motor vehicles that combine elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles , such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive . There is no commonly agreed definition of an SUV , and usage varies between countries . Some definitions claim that an SUV must be built on a light truck chassis ; however , broader definitions consider any vehicle with off-road design features to be an SUV . A crossover SUV is defined as an SUV built with a unibody construction ( as per passenger cars ) , however in many cases crossovers are simply referred to as SUVs . In some countries - such as the United States - SUVs have been classified as light trucks , resulting in more lenient regulations compared to passenger cars . The predecessors to SUVs date back to military and low-volume models from the late 1930s , and the four-wheel drive station wagons and carryalls that began to be introduced in 1949 . The 1984 Jeep Cherokee ( XJ ) is considered to be the first SUV in the modern style . Most SUVs produced today use unibody construction ( as per passenger cars ) ; however , in the past many SUVs used body-on-frame construction . During the late 1990s and early 2000s , the popularity of SUVs greatly increased , often at the expense of the popularity of large sedans and station wagons . More recently , smaller SUVs , mid-size and crossovers have become increasingly popular . SUVs are currently the world 's largest automotive segment and accounted for 36.8% of the world 's passenger car market in 2017 . SUVs are criticised for their impact on other road users and the environment .

If a person survives , there may be long-term neurological problems . Toxic cyanide-containing compounds include hydrogen cyanide gas and a number of cyanide salts . Poisoning is relatively common following breathing in smoke from a house fire . Other potential routes of exposure include workplaces involved in metal polishing , certain insecticides , the medication nitroprusside , and certain seeds such as those of apples and apricots . Liquid forms of cyanide can be absorbed through the skin . Cyanide ions interfere with cellular respiration , resulting in the body 's tissues being unable to use oxygen . Diagnosis is often difficult . It may be suspected in a person following a house fire who has a decreased level of consciousness , low blood pressure , or high blood lactate .
