Kidnapping
The crime of taking a person against their will, sometimes for ransom.
The unlawful act of capturing and carrying away a person against their will and holding them in false imprisonment.
Kidnapping is the taking away or transportation of a person against the person's will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement without legal authority.
Kidnapping can also take place in the case of deprogramming, a now rare practice to convince someone to give up his commitment to a new religious movement that the deprogrammer considers harmful.
In criminal law, kidnapping is the taking away of a person against the person's will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment (confinement without legal authority) for ransom or in furtherance of another crime.
The kidnappers, who can be very erratic, have been found to engage in the criminality for several complex motives ranging from unemployment, idleness, retribution, rituals, monetary gains and political reasons.
Kidnapping of a child is often called child stealing (the word "kidnapping" was originally "kid nabbing", in other words slang for "child stealing"). This can refer to children being taken away without their parents' consent, but with the child's consent.
Kidnapping is a problem in some regions of the world where roving gangs snatch people, especially tourists, and hold them for ransom pay-outs. In these regions, extreme poverty and the inability to find work may drive people to committing crimes in order to make a living, and kidnapping can also be used as a tool by rival political groups and gangs. It also occurs in the context of child custody disputes, when a parent who does not have custody takes a child. Even if the child is consenting, it is deemed kidnapping because the parent with custody does not consent.
According to the Black's Law Dictionary, the crime of kidnapping is labelled abduction when the victim is a woman. In modern usage, kidnapping of a child is often called "child stealing", especially when not done to collect a ransom.
In Criminal Law, kidnapping is the taking away of a person against the person's will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment or a confinement without legal authority. This is often done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime.
Take away to an undisclosed location against their will and usually in order to extract a ransom.
Kidnapping is an unlawful act or an instance of taking a person without consent, by force or fraud. Kidnappings can occur by family members, as well as strangers.

To kidnap someone means to take them and hold them against their will. Usually, it's for extortion, i.e.: money.
Kidnapping can be a state or federal offense depending upon the circumstances:

Deforestation
Deforestation
The removal of trees.
The process of destroying a forest and replacing it with something else, especially by an agricultural system.
The complete destruction and total clearing of all forests within a region
To destroy or to fell all the trees of a forest
Deforestation is the clearance of naturally occurring forests by logging and burning
The state of being clear of trees
Deforestation occurs for many reasons: trees or derived charcoal are used as, or sold, for fuel or as a commodity, while cleared land is used as pasture for livestock, plantations of commodities, and settlements. The removal of trees without sufficient reforestation has resulted in damage to habitat, biodiversity loss and aridity. It has adverse impacts on bio sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Deforested regions typically incur significant adverse soil erosion and frequently degrade into wasteland.
Deforestation refers to the cutting, clearing, and removal of rainforest or related ecosystems into less bio-diverse ecosystems such as pasture, cropland, or plantations.
Deforestation refers to the loss or destruction of naturally occurring forests, primarily due to human activities such as logging, cutting trees for fuel, slash-and-burn agriculture, clearing land for livestock grazing, mining operations, oil extraction, dam building, and urban sprawl or other types of development and population expansion.
Not all deforestation is intentional. Some deforestation may be driven by a combination of natural processes and human interests. Wildfires burn large sections of forest every year, for example, and although fire is a natural part of the forest lifecycle, subsequent overgrazing by livestock or wildlife after a fire can prevent the growth of young trees.
Deforestation in those regions wipes out critical habitat, disrupts ecosystems and leads to the potential extinction of many species, including irreplaceable species that could be used to make medicines, which might be essential for cures or effective treatments of the world's most devastating diseases.
Deforestation also contributes to tropical deforestation accounts for about 20 percent of all greenhouse gases and has a significant impact on the global economy. While some people may receive immediate economic benefits from activities that result in deforestation, those short-term gains cannot offset the negative long-term economic losses.
Deforestation is people cutting down whole forests of trees, and making it even less likely for humans to survive. Trees supply oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, and hold down the soil from washing away or making landslides.
The destruction and cutting down of forests is often done to clear land for farming, mining, roads, and grazing of cattle. That causes increased atmospheric levels, a factor in global warming.
Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.
Not all deforestation is intentional. Some is caused by a combination of human and natural factors like wildfires and subsequent overgrazing, which may prevent the growth of young trees.
Deforestation also drives climate change. Forest soils are moist, but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover they quickly dry out. Trees also help perpetuate the water cycle by returning water vapor back into the atmosphere. Without trees to fill these roles, many former forest lands can quickly become barren deserts.
Forests are cut down for many reasons, but most of them are related to money or to people’s need to provide for their families. The biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture. Farmers cut forests to provide more room for planting crops or grazing livestock. Often many small farmers will each clear a few acres to feed their families by cutting down trees and burning them in a process known as “slash and burn” agriculture.

crime
Crime
Crime is an illegal (or unlawful) act.
Crimes are punished according to their seriousness. More serious crimes are given harsher penalties.
Individual human societies may define crime and crimes differently. While every crime violates the law, not every violation of the law counts as a crime; for example: breaches of contract and of other civil law may rank as offences or as "infractions". Modern societies generally regard crimes as offences against the public or the state, distinguished from torts (offences against private parties that can give rise to a civil cause of action).
A serious offense, especially one in violation of morality.
An unjust, senseless, or disgraceful act or condition.
A person who has been found guilty of a crime.
An act committed or omitted in violation of a law forbidding or commanding it and for which punishment is imposed upon conviction.
An act or omission prohibited and punished by law.
A crime is an offence against a public law. This word, in its most general sense, includes all offences, but in its more limited sense is confined to felony.
Crimes are defined and punished by statutes and by the common law. Most common law offences are as well-known and as precisely ascertained as those which are defined by statutes; yet, from the difficulty of exactly defining and describing every act which ought to be punished, the vital and preserving principle has been adopted; that all immoral acts which tend to the prejudice of the community are punishable by courts of justice.
Any violation of law, either divine or human; an omission of a duty commanded, or the commission of an act forbidden by law.

culture
Culture
Culture describes the many ways in which human beings express themselves for the purposes of uniting with others, forming a group, defining an identity, and even for distinguishing themselves as unique.
The way of life of a people, including their attitudes, values, beliefs, arts, sciences, modes of perception, and habits of thought and activity. Cultural features of forms of life are learned but are often too pervasive to be readily noticed from within.
Culture has been taken as constituting the way of life of an entire society, including the codes of manners, language, rituals, norms of behaviour, and systems of belief. Sociologists stress the importance of culture in determining human behaviour.
Cultural differences are different beliefs and values of a particular group. They are different from one another.
All cultures are known to have a set of beliefs that defines the code of conduct and values for that particular culture. People living together in a society share the same culture.
The cultural values of a community give it an identity of its own. A community gains a character and a personality of its own, because of the culture of its people. Culture is shared by the members of a community. It is learned and passed from the older generations to the newer ones. For an effective transfer of culture from one generation to another, it has to be translated into symbols. Language, art and religion serve as the symbolic means of transfer of cultural values between generations.
Culture is a bond that ties the people of a region or community together. It is that one common bond, which brings the people of a community together. The customs and traditions that the people of a community follow, the festivals they celebrate, the kind of clothing they wear, the food they eat, and most importantly, the cultural values they adhere to, bind them together.
Culture is seen as a system of social control, wherein people shape their standards and behaviour. The cultural values form the founding principles of one’s life. They influence one’s principles and philosophies of life. They influence one’s way of living and thus impact social life.
Culture is a defining feature of a person's identity, contributing to how they see themselves and the groups with which they identify. Culture may be broadly defined as the sum total of ways of living built up by a group of human beings, which is transmitted from one generation to another. Every community, cultural group or ethnic group has its own values, beliefs and ways of living.

A constitution is a set of laws that a set of people have made and agreed upon for government often codified as a written document that enumerates and limits the powers and functions of a political entity. In the case of countries and autonomous regions of federal countries the term refers specifically to a constitution defining the fundamental political principles, and establishing the structure, procedures, powers and duties, of a government. By limiting the government's own reach, most constitution’s guarantee certain law rights to the people. The term constitution can be applied to any overall system of that defines the functioning of a government, including several uncodified historical constitutions that existed before the development of modern codified constitutions.
Constitution is the whole body of fundamental rules that govern every society to carry and exercised their duties accordingly. Constitution is the supreme command of the sovereign authority.

child marriage
Child Marriage
Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. People marry for many reasons, including one or more of the following: legal, social, emotional, economical, spiritual, and religious. These might include arranged marriages, family obligations, the legal establishment of a nuclear family unit, the legal protection of children and public declaration of commitment.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (among other charters and conventions) all directly or indirectly forbid the degrading and mistreatment of girls inherent in child marriage.
Nevertheless, child marriage is common in many parts of the world, claiming millions of victims annually and hundreds of thousands of injuries or death resulting from abuse or complications from pregnancy and childbirth.
Child marriage in Nepal is not a new phenomenon. It is a socially established practice that has been carried on from generation to generation. Religion has sanctioned it, and society has ensured its continuity.
Child marriage was usually understood to mean the marriage of two children, but it also included unmatched marriages. The highly gender discriminative Hindu marriage law permitted the marriage of a very young girl and a very old man. The Hindu puritans also gave full sexual freedom to the men: they could marry as many wives they wanted for pleasure and child rearing, but were very strict with women. And that gave rise to the custom of “sati”, in which a woman, even if she were very young and with child, had to be burnt alive along with her husband’s dead body. The sati custom was prevalent in Nepali society up to the end of 19th century. It was later outlawed.
Child marriage is a gross violation of child’s rights; it robs children of their childhood, hinders their growing up process and forces them into the dark abyss of an uncertain future. Since most of the victims of this practice are girl children, it is they who suffer most from the devastating effects of this evil practice.

child abortion
Child abortion
The word "abortion" comes from the Latin root aboriri (ab = "off the mark," oriri = "to be born or rise"). Until the 19th century, both miscarriages and intentional terminations of pregnancies were referred to as abortions.
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo, resulting in or caused by its death. An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced, in humans and other species. ...
Many religious traditions have taken a stance on abortion, and these stances span a broad spectrum from acceptance to rejection.
Abortion means ending a pregnancy early. In some cases, a woman’s pregnancy ends on its own. This is called a miscarriage, or a spontaneous abortion. In other cases, a woman chooses to end her pregnancy by taking medicine (called medical abortion) or having surgery (called surgical abortion). These 2 types of abortion are usually done in the first trimester (the first 3 months of the pregnancy). They are done by a doctor and other health care professionals in a hospital, doctor’s office or health centre.
Death of an unborn fetus.
Termination of pregnancy induced for medical reasons or because of an elective decision to end the pregnancy
Abortion is a termination of pregnancy
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo, resulting in or caused by its death. An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced, in humans and other species. In the context of human pregnancies, an abortion induced to preserve the health of the gravida (pregnant female) is termed a therapeutic abortion, while an abortion induced for any other reason is termed an elective abortion. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages.
Worldwide 42 million abortions are estimated to take place annually with 22 million of these occurring safely and 20 million unsafely. While maternal mortality seldom results from safe abortions, unsafe abortions result in 70,000 deaths and 5 million disabilities per year. One of the main determinants of the availability of safe abortions is the legality of the procedure. Forty percent of the world's women are able to access therapeutic and elective abortions within gestational limits. The frequency of abortions is, however, similar whether or not access is restricted.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) (also known as External Dispute Resolution in some countries, such as Australia) includes dispute resolution processes and techniques that fall outside of the government judicial process. ...
"Alternative dispute resolution" (ADR) is a term generally used to refer to informal dispute resolution processes in which the parties meet with a professional third party who helps them resolve their dispute in a way that is less formal and often more consensual than is done in the courts. While the most common forms of ADR are mediation and arbitration, there are many other forms: judicial settlement conferences, fact-finding, ombudsmen, special masters, etc. Though often voluntary, ADR is sometimes mandated by the courts, which require that disputants try mediation before they take their case to court.
ADR is being increasingly acknowledged in the field of law and commercial sectors both at disputes at their own terms cheaply and expeditiously.
Alternate Dispute Resolution is rapidly developing at national and international level, offering simpler methods of resolving disputes. Increasing trend of ADR services can easily be inferred from the growth of “Arbitration clause” in majority of contracts. There has been a significant growth in number of law school courses, diplomas, seminars, etc. focusing on alternate dispute resolution and rationalizing its effectualness in processing wide range of dispute in society.
ADR is any process used to resolve disputes which is not considered part of the more formal or traditional methods of resolving disputes such as court adjudication. ...
A body of dispute resolution techniques which avoid the inflexibility of litigation and arbitration, and focus instead on enabling the parties to achieve a better or similar result, with the minimum of direct and indirect cost.
A way to resolve disputes outside of the traditional state or federal court systems. Arbitration and mediation are two widely used ADR processes.

Air pollution
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere.When people think about air pollution, they usually think about smog, acid rain, and other forms of outdoor air pollution. But air pollution also can exist inside homes and other buildings. It can, and every year, the health of many people is affected by chemical substances present in the air within buildings.
One or more chemicals or substances in high enough concentrations in the air to harm humans, animals, vegetation, and materials. Such chemicals or physical conditions (such as excess heat or noise) are called air pollutants.
The presence of contaminants in the air in concentrations that prevent the normal dispersive ability of the air, and that interfere with biological processes and human economics.
Unhealthy particles and gases in the air that harm people, animals, plants, and even objects such as buildings and statues. Air pollution can be present as a solid, liquid, or gas.
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment into the atmosphere.Some forms of air pollution create global problems, such as upper atmosphere ozone depletion and global warming. These problems are very complex, these days.Air pollution includes all contaminants found in the atmosphere. These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles. Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air.The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous. Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings, and also severely affects natural ecosystems. Some areas now suffer more than others from air pollution. Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from problems of air pollution.It is believed that much like cystic fibrosis, by living in a more urban environment serious health hazards become more apparent. Studies have shown that in urban areas patients suffer mucus hyper secretion, lower levels of lung function, and more self-diagnosis of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
An air pollutant is known as a substance in the air that can cause harm to humans and the environment. Pollutants can be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, or gases. In addition, they may be natural or man-made.The substances that cause air pollution are called pollutants. Pollutants that are pumped into our atmosphere and directly pollute the air are called primary pollutants. Primary pollutant examples include carbon monoxide from car exhausts and sulfur dioxide from the combustion of coal.Further pollution can arise if primary pollutants in the atmosphere undergo chemical reactions. The resulting compounds are called secondary pollutants. Photochemical smog is an example of this.Cities around the world with high exposure to air pollutants have the possibility of children living within them to develop asthma, pneumonia and other lower respiratory infections as well as a low initial birth rate

In addition, they may be natural or man-made.The substances that cause air pollution are called pollutants. Pollutants that are pumped into our atmosphere and directly pollute the air are called primary pollutants. Primary pollutant examples include carbon monoxide from car exhausts and sulfur dioxide from the combustion of coal.Further pollution can arise if primary pollutants in the atmosphere undergo chemical reactions. The resulting compounds are called secondary pollutants. Photochemical smog is an example of this.Cities around the world with high exposure to air pollutants have the possibility of children living within them to develop asthma, pneumonia and other lower respiratory infections as well as a low initial birth rate
Air pollution
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere.When people think about air pollution, they usually think about smog, acid rain, and other forms of outdoor air pollution. But air pollution also can exist inside homes and other buildings. It can, and every year, the health of many people is affected by chemical substances present in the air within buildings.
One or more chemicals or substances in high enough concentrations in the air to harm humans, animals, vegetation, and materials. Such chemicals or physical conditions (such as excess heat or noise) are called air pollutants.
The presence of contaminants in the air in concentrations that prevent the normal dispersive ability of the air, and that interfere with biological processes and human economics.
Unhealthy particles and gases in the air that harm people, animals, plants, and even objects such as buildings and statues. Air pollution can be present as a solid, liquid, or gas.
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment into the atmosphere.Some forms of air pollution create global problems, such as upper atmosphere ozone depletion and global warming. These problems are very complex, these days.Air pollution includes all contaminants found in the atmosphere. These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles. Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air.The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous. Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings, and also severely affects natural ecosystems. Some areas now suffer more than others from air pollution. Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from problems of air pollution.It is believed that much like cystic fibrosis, by living in a more urban environment serious health hazards become more apparent. Studies have shown that in urban areas patients suffer mucus hyper secretion, lower levels of lung function, and more self-diagnosis of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
