Arthur Schaper: Victimless Crimes in the Bay State
Friday, January 10, 2014
Vices like smoking and gambling (and in a marginal sense, prostitution) are often termed “victimless” crimes by criminologists, since the individuals who engage in these activities do so willingly, despite the societal consequences of the behaviors, or the communal opprobrium attached to them.
