Victimless crime (political philosophy)
A victimless crime is behavior of an individual which is forbidden by law, but which does not violate nor significantly threaten the rights of other individuals. Controversy about the applicability of the term usually surrounds the issue of whether a victim exists (some argue that "victimless" crimes affect society as a whole, thus making society a "victim").
