Document Summary
The safe third country stipulation: if they are fearing for their lives they will go to the first safest country possible. If they go anywhere else they are basically shopping.

Attach the deviance or labels to be able to control individuals. Conscious through criminal structure or unconscious conformity. There needs to be a subject matter when looking at. We don"t want to define our subject matter to broadly or narrow. Example: drinking and driving: no dius, ticket, records eliminating 40%.
