Should vice enforcement be taken over by state and federal agencies? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


The answer really depends on what you mean by vice. If by vice, you mean local prostitutes, male and female, it is mostly a local problem. Child molesters and serial rapists move around and are both a local and a national problem. Fencing stolen goods is both a local and national problem. Gangs that are engaged in theft of antiques, rare coins, and art objects that are stolen in one community are sold nationally and internationally depending on the value of the stolen goods. The crimes of smuggling aliens, many cybercrimes, money laundering, and financial crimes are mostly federal and global issues and should come under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Loc al embezzlement from small business is mostly a local crime. Once again, the answer truly depends on the department's definition and experience of vice.
