What are victimless crimes ?

Answer 1

Any charge where no persons life, health ,or property has been injured , taken or destroyed .Where there is no victim .The government does not qualify as a victim .To be a victim you must be capable of emotion and feeling pain.

Answer 2

So called victimless crimes are prostitution, drug dealing, drug using. Whether or not they are really victimless crimes is hotly debated. Some say they are because no one is directly hurt by them. Others point out that prostitution can be dangerous with STD's, drug dealing usually goes along with other crimes like illegal weapons possession, and drug using can be bad for the user if they become addicted.

Answer 3

Victimless crimes plays a big role with morality... a field that Liberals are more inclined to know abt.

Answer 4

The majority of victimless crimes fall under three main headings either where the defendant(s) is/are the victim, or where there is no victim at all in the conventional sense:

Sex crimes and crimes related to reproduction:

Adultery and, in general, sex outside marriage where all those involved, including spouses, give consent. Adultery without the spouse's consent is arguably not victimless, as it violates the spouse's marriage contract rights, but it is equally arguable that the non-consenting spouse is the victim of a civil wrong, not a criminal wrong.
Bigamy and other non-traditional marital and family practices.
Prostitution, other sex work, and related acts. According to some people, prostitutes are "victims" of economic circumstances; others point out that that many strippers and ditch diggers are "victims" of economic circumstances, and arguably so is anyone who performs a service only for the money, but that doesn't mean stripping, ditch digging or performing any other services solely for the money is or should be a crime.
Incest between legal adults where offspring cannot result from the sexual activity. For example, homosexual acts or where at least one partner is sterile and/or a relative; however, in some countries it is forbidden only when causing public scandal.
Homosexuality, or other sexual activities not strictly related with biological reproduction (see, for example, sodomy law).
Pornography (production, trade, possession, consumption) and other obscenity, when produced involving consenting adult participants, and distributed to consenting adult purchasers; some also include pornography that doesn't feature consenting adults (such as in the case of child pornography), as that while the act may harm, the picture doesn't.
Human reproduction which lies outside of ordinary methods: chemical or genetic interventions; birth control, which is illegal in many places; human cloning and other reproductive technologies.
Religion:

Practice of religions or cults or superstitions other than those locally sanctioned.
Blasphemy
Apostacy
Patriotism:

Flag desecration
Self-preservation and public safety:

Many forms of gambling.
Suicide, attempted suicide and self-injury.
Violation of laws requiring the use of safety devices such as seat belts and motorcycle helmets. Some argue that since acquiring the privilege to operate a motor vehicle on public roadways includes consent to obey the rules of the road, such violations are technically breach of contract, and not victimless. Others would argue that violating such laws can only lead to the injury of the violator, who has consented to the possibility of such injury by the very act of violation, and thus such violations do not endanger others.
Driving a car without state-mandated auto insurance.
Use of illegal drugs, including alcohol in some jurisdictions (though sale of drugs to addicted persons clearly raises issues of capacity to consent).
The black market, or trade in general in such things as unapproved products or unlicensed services (to willing and fully informed buyers).
Simple possession of certain dangerous objects/substances, such as fireworks.
Possession of devices that may be used in committing crimes, such as weapons, unauthorised cable TV decoders, or cryptographic products (the reasonable likelihood that the device will be used to harm others is relevant in determining whether possession constitutes a significant threat to the rights of others or not; an extreme example is possession of a nuclear weapon by a civilian - arguably not a victimless crime).
Sedition
Subverting the national culture, e.g. by using certain foreign or minority languages.
Intellectual Property and Trade:

Grey market transactions that do not involve copyright/trademark infringement. (i.e. Importing a videogame console vs. decrypting a foreign satellite signal without permission)
Bypassing region encoding on DVDs and other media.
Copying goods that will never legally be sold in one's market.

Answer 5

well, they may not be TOTALLY victimless, but some consider fraud against large companies and the government "victimless", since large companies and the government are often able to absorb the costs of fraud much easier and at much less cost to any one individual... it still hurts some of course, but much less than most other crimes...

Answer 6

Blasphemy

Answer 7

There are no victimless crimes.

Answer 8

Inciting to sedition and rebellion because there is actually no crime committed but only a plan.

Answer 9

Prostitution, drugs, porn, gambling, etc.. Things that harm no one - except the prudes who think it's wrong for "moral" reasons. Usually fundies.

Answer 10

Flag burning.
