    Basically, anything that is illegal but does not harm anyone is a victimless crime. There are many laws based on ethics. Usually, these laws do not protect a victim from a crime, but a society from a specific behavior which some feel is inappropriate. For example, laws preventing certain sex techniques cause victimless crimes if they apply to consenting adults.

    • I agree. For instance, prostitution involves consenting adults, however, it's a crime because of the implication on society and families, as well as the partnered involvement of drugs, corruption and violence.
