Victimless crimes.
In white-collar or index crimes, people's economic
or personal well-being is endangered against their will or without their
knowledge. By contrast, sociologists use the term victimless crimes to describe
the willing exchange among adults of widely desired but illegal goods and
services: gambling, prostitution, public drunkenness, and use of drugs.
