Overcrowded courts and prisons breed frustration, alienation and hate that is fed back into society. We are repeating all the mistakes of alcohol prohibition, but we learn from history that we don't learn from history. Victimless Crime is a confusing term. Yes, there are victims in black market activities such as drugs, prostitution and gambling. These laws take protective services and resources away from the true crimes of theft and assault.
Black markets add the danger of impure quality, erratic potency and lack of valid information.
Education and communication are the answer, not reefer madness. Perverted thugs from vice squads create resentment, backlash and chaos. To get hookers off the streets and improve safety, prostitution should be legalized. This kind of unenforceable laws make criminals of all of us. The real irony is that taxes and politics are the greatest casino, and a poor bet.
