I asked this question eariler and told it needed to be rephrased...this is how my teacher asked it:
Find the top ten violations that most United States industries are guilty of conducting. Pick a couple of other foreign countries and try to determine what their top violations might be.
Ok, your teacher asked a vague question
The other word I was going to suggest to change is "guilty". Few cited volations in labour law, safety, pollution, and other violations go to trial. Very few. So if you were asking for "guilty", there would be hardly none. Most, the great majority, are settled adminstratively out of court, with no finding or admission of guilt.
Try these:

So you see, it varies by industry. Again, the most common infraction is tax violation...these are not cited nor recorded, because they are "settled" out of court.
Good luck.
To answer your question, you can start by researching the top violations that most United States industries are commonly found guilty of conducting. You can find this information by referring to reports, studies, or statistics published by government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or the Department of Labor. These agencies often collect data on violations committed by different industries.
Additionally, you can explore industry-specific websites, forums, or publications that discuss compliance issues and violations. For example, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides information on violations related to fire safety in various industries.
To identify the top violations in other foreign countries, you can refer to similar sources. Look for reports or studies conducted by their respective government agencies or industry-specific organizations. It may be helpful to search for international databases or organizations that compile data on global industry violations, such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) or the World Health Organization (WHO).
Keep in mind that the specific violations and their rankings will vary by industry and country. It is also important to note that not all violations result in guilty verdicts or are taken to trial. Many violations are settled administratively without a finding or admission of guilt.
Lastly, although tax violations are quite common, they are not typically cited or recorded publicly due to their settlement procedures. Thus, finding information on tax violations may be more challenging.
