Some emerge within the system, and some emerge due to the laws the systems created. Al Capone created his deviant subculture due to the prohibition of alcohol-(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone) He created his own mob that’s own lifeblood relies on the selling of alcohol illegally. Capone had power, but not the same kind of protection that corporate power guarantees. He was well protected due to the use of mob related violence. When he was brought to justice by Elliot Ness the punishment was similar to a bottom of the barrel criminal.
However there are still many contemporary issues concerning consumers, in particular marketing and technology (if needed). Marketing is a way companies create interest in their product, and the internet has led to the growth of fraudulent behavior, most notably SPAM and the Pyramid Schemes. Marketing and advertising through misleading advertising, offering prizes and gifts, the use of bait advertising although illegal is a very large problem. Although the ACCC does prosecute false and misleading advertising eg ACCC vs Nissan motors, they have only limited resources and a lack of severe penalties and as a consequence many people continue to break the law. Similarly, technology has had a significant impact on how laws have had to be created and reformed in order to protect the rights of consumers.

Down with the Patriot Act The Patriot Act is a very controversial law. It allows the government much more room to do as they please. Some of these practices that government officials can do are monitoring phone calls, emails, and going through personal records. They say this will help prevent terrorism, but is losing one’s privacy really worth it? Could there be a better way to prevent terrorism?
And accuracy further reduces speed. With up to 7.8% of tested sites being wrongly blocked you begin to wonder if Conroy is trolling. And of course with such dodgy plans for censorship, there is a strong opposition. Also opposing the filter is internet superpower Google. They comment that "moving to a mandatory ISP filtering regime with a scope that goes well beyond such material (child abuse and terrorism) is heavy handed and can raise genuine questions about restrictions on access to information."
Having trouble using Wikipedia today? That's because the popular crowd-sourced online encyclopedia is participating in an "Internet blackout" in protest of two controversial anti-piracy bills: The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and its Senate companion, the Protect IP Act (PIPA). Pictures: Websites go dark to protest SOPA The bills are intended to strengthen protections against copyright infringement and intellectual property theft, but Internet advocates say they would stifle expression on the World Wide Web. In essence, the legislation has pitted content providers -- like the music and film industries -- against Silicon Valley. CBS Corporation is among the media and entertainment companies that support the legislation.

We do not officially sanction the use of beating & torture or execution for sex crimes. The printing of sex offender on one’s driver’s license as well as posting of warnings on websites could be seen as opening the door to vigilante behavior. Personally, I have no problem, just some pause, with such notifications, but there may be court challenges by some civil libertarian groups in re to such practices. There are even sex offender advocacy groups, such as ReformSexOffenderLaws.Org, set up for the purpose of modifying/overturning laws they perceive as unfair. The disconcerting thing is that on some issues a valid point is made practically as well as
One of the many horrors that this act allows is the legality of the law enforcement to acquire and view e-mails sent via the World Wide Web as well as phone numbers that you have dialed without first informing you or without obtaining a court order. This essentially violates the fourth amendment right to privacy of the person and possessions against unreasonable searches. The act was passed as a measure to combat terror but the powers that it gives to the government are too vast. The definition of an act of “domestic terrorism” according to the USA PATRIOT act is any activities that “involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State (Uniting and Strengthening, 2001)”. With a definition so broadly defined any citizen in this country suspected of murder could be deemed a terrorist and according to the PATRIOT act, terrorists do not have to receive a fair
