With the development of society, the nature of the crime also changed in different dimensions from common crimes to special crimes which remained unattended. The criminal jurisprudence while classifying the crimes from different parameters also uses the technique to differentiate the crimes and label them as ‘Blue Collar Crime’, ‘Red Collar Crime’ and ‘White Collar Crimes’. The blue collar crimes are the common crimes, while the red collar crime being coupled and tainted with blood. On the other hand white collar crime emerged with the advancement of society by a particular act or omission of an individual appears not to be a crime but is always tainted and painted with underline crimes in its concealed form usually related to economic offences of essential commodities food adulteration, money laundering and so on and so forth.

Many literate, skilled and willing people are looking for the employment but their all efforts are like the tracing of needle in the dark. Though there are many types of unemployment prevailing in our society. The most widespread type of unemployment is disguised unemployment. It is a situation in which more people are engaged in an activity than the required ones. The people who are actually engaged in such as activity appear to be employed but in real sense they are not fully employed. This problem is particularly acute in rural areas. It is also known as underemployment. The absence of alternative employment opportunities in rural areas leads to this situation. Government should take strong action to overcome such problems because the target set in the present years to achieve the growth rate of 9 to 10% can be attained through the overall development of all the sectors of the economy and the fruits of economic development are shared by every citizen of our country. Hard decisions should be taken to compete in the race of economic development in the world, otherwise the gap between the urban and the rural prosperity will become biggest obstacle in our peace and prosperity.","PeriodicalId":166691,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Social Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129257625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Singhal","doi":"10.29070/27/58304","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29070/27/58304","url":null,"abstract":"There are no two opinions on the fact that security is highly contested and politicized phenomenon and concept. The contemporary times have an unsavory knack of abusing almost everything under the sun, be it globalization (marred by blatant capitalism), facts (creating alternate facts), human beings (gender differences, sexual exploitation), language (truth and post-truth), nature (pollution and exploitation), and the list goes on; and the whole notion of ‘security’ also stands in the same territory. The paper intends towards an analysis of the argument that the yearning, and need for being far more secure (in social, economic and cultural context) than before has actually made us much more vulnerable. The failure of ‘globalization from below’, the success of ‘globalization from above’, navigation without reference to a fixed point, a North star and the absence of critical thinking and improved education policies and system, have coerced us in favour of fascist regimes, protectionism, extreme form of nationalism, walling of borders and creation of delusionary ‘threat’ and the ‘threatened’ two major elements of ‘security’. In the light of aforementioned argument, the paper plans towards fleshing out of the recent unfortunate incidents in India, where ‘cow’ is far more ‘threatened’ than the human beings and in order to protect it human beings must be lynched, the silencing of independent and questioning voices of journalists, the disappearance and suicide of students from university campuses, suicides of farmers in the absence of emancipatory policies, and lastly, manufacturing of mob who is ready to brand you as an anti-national and lynch you all in the false sense of becoming ‘secure’.

Both parties play significant roles to ensure that the implementation of GST would run smoothly. Compliance awareness, knowledge, attitude, audit and other factors contribute towards efforts for corporate taxpayers to be consistently compliant for every submission and payment. Unfortunately, compliance is not easily achieved, as the public would have thought. Various training, reading, timing and costing are required before business owners can successfully implement GST into their accounting system and be adapted with the process. This paper presents an empirical analysis of GST activities from regulator (RMC) and corporate taxpayers of small medium enterprises (SMEs) in managing compliance activities. SMEs were selected as samples because they represent more than 90% of GST registrants in Malaysia. Findings from semi-structured interview with business owners, as well as focus group discussion with RMC, indicated that both parties strive to ensure that the level of GST compliance is","PeriodicalId":166691,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Social Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127868528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Women suffer from lack of access to decent work and face occupational segregation and gender wage gaps. In many situations, they are denied access to basic education and health care and are victims of violence and discrimination. They are under-represented in political and economic decision-making processes. “Empowerment of Women” is considered as the way out for women development and gender equality world over. The involvement of women in the development process and political decision-making process has always been advocated by social and political thinkers. The present paper is an attempt to analyze factors responsible for success/failure related to political participation of the people specially women in democratic institutions, to examine the impact of democratic institutions on empowerment of women and To suggest measures for further strengthening democratic institutions and empowerment of women. It has been shown that that there is greater need to increase the participation of women in politics. It will be impossible to create any change to policies without increasing the representation of women in the various levels of the political power structure.","PeriodicalId":166691,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Social Sciences","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114331428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The campaign began in January 2011 in the backdrop of the publicity that accompanied the several mega-scams that surfaced in 2010, notably those relating to the Commonwealth Games and the telecom spectrum allocations. It caught the public imagination with Anna Hazare’s fast at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi in April 2011. That forced the UPA government to constitute a joint drafting committee for a Lokpal bill. The civil society representatives in the committee proposed a bill called the Jan Lokpal bill, which became the basis for discussions. The basic principles on which the bill was drafted were culled from the United Nations Convention against Corruption, which required all countries to put in place anti-corruption investigative agencies that would be independent of the executive government and would have the jurisdiction to investigate all public servants for corruption. In the background of the Jan Lokpal movement The Lokpal and Lokayukta Bill was passed by the parliament on 18th December,2013 which finally became an act after receiving assent from the president on January 1, 2014, and came into force from January 16, 2014. But even after its passage the not established the body called the ‘Lokpal'. The bureaucratic strategy of delay followed by the government shows the reluctance and lack of sincerity on the part of government to constitute Lokpal which is essential to curb corruption which is acting as the greatest menace to our democracy and development.","PeriodicalId":166691,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129309440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
