victimless crimevictimless crimean act which is defined as an offence within a country's criminal law but which does not result in anyone's physical, financial or other harm. This issue came into sociological discussion in the late 1960s associated with LABELLING THEORY and the NATIONAL DEVIANCY CONFERENCE. Subsequent discussion has highlighted problems with the concept, particularly when the ‘public at large’ may be viewed as the ‘victim’ of such activities as soliciting by prostitutes or soft drug use.victimless crime
