Solution

This statement is True.

Reason:

  1. Criminals enter politics when those with a criminal history or who have been accused of corruption run for office.
  2. Increased criminal involvement in politics enhances the influence of money and muscle, which could result in election-related violence.
  3. 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.
