Solution
This statement is True.
Reason:
- Criminals enter politics when those with a criminal history or who have been accused of corruption run for office.
- Increased criminal involvement in politics enhances the influence of money and muscle, which could result in election-related violence.
- As a result, the government takes serious measures to prevent criminals from getting involved in politics. However, it falls short of complete achievement in this endeavour. Therefore, a significant threat to democracy is the rise of criminal involvement in political processes.
