In most cases, people living “shattered zones” are either escaping from the pressures of capitalistic economies of the state (Kottak, 2006, p.35). According to Scotts in The Art of Not Being Governed, “shattered zones” refer to places where there is resistance to state rules. People living in “shattered zones” refuse to comply with regulations and take part in doing actions against state-making.

In case of a minor error, which perhaps never affected case outcomes, they are said or taken to be harmless. Such errors, therefore, can never be used as a base for conviction reversal on appeal.
