In existing criminology there are concepts: a criminal man, a criminal profession, a criminal society, a criminal sect, and a criminal tribe, but there is no concept of a criminal state, or a criminal government, or criminal legislation. Consequently what is often regarded as political activity is in fact a criminal activity.

There can be no complete and permanent reform of the civil service until public opinion emancipates congressmen from all control and influence over government patronage.
