What are victimless crimes? Discuss with an example.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Victimless crimes are illegal acts that have no direct victim. Because crimes such as illicit drug use, prostitution, illegal gambling, and pornography are voluntary, the people involved don't consider themselves victims or report the offenses. Some contend that the term is misleading because victimless crimes often lead to property and violent crimes, as when addicts commit burglary, rob people at gunpoint, and engage in identity theft to get money for drugs.
