| | Crime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most traffic violations or breaches of contract are not crimes in a legal sense. | | | Also, in order for a crime to be prosecuted, corpus delicti (or "proof of a crime") must be established. | | | The attempt to commit a crime may to be punished, even if the crime is not completed (in California, USA e.g., the punishment can be half of that for the crime itself [1]); for instance, it is generally a crime to attempt to murder someone, even if one has not succeeded in doing so. |

| | Consensual crime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Sexually-related crimes frequently appear to belong to this kind of legislation and in fact they are in some cases prosecuted only if from the fact a public scandal is effectively originated; in these cases the avoidance of scandals might then be the goal of the law. | | | The criminal underworlds often created by laws against consensual crimes mean that a subculture comes into existence for whom police are an enemy, who cannot rely on law, and who often adhere to a violent code of honor. | | | Advocates for reform of "victimless crime" statutes often argue that people ought to be allowed to do whatever they wish, except for those cases in which it can be proven that their act is likely to violate the rights of another person. |

| | An Overview |
| | Roughly half of the arrests and court cases in the United States each year involve consensual crimes—actions that are against the law, but directly harm no one's person or property except, possibly, the criminal's. | | | Further, the laws against consensual activities are not uniformly enforced—the poor and minorities, for a variety of reasons, tend to receive the brief end of the stick. | | | Because consensual crimes are against the law, taking part in them costs significantly more than is necessary. |

| | The "solution" to this crime and criminal class was to switch to slavery, after 1680. | | | It had to be enforced regardless of whether the violators had voluntarily consented to commit the crime and the crime harmed no one (like consensual sex without conceiving a baby). | | | Within the large (sometimes the largest) category of sexual crime, the number of crimes grew, especially after 1690 and through 1740 (the data is from New Haven, Connecticut). |

| | IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE |
| | As we shall see in the chapter, Consensual Crimes Encourage Real Crime, most of these thefts are committed by addicts to pay for the artificially inflated price of their drugs. | | | Further, consensual crimes are often hidden in other categories. | | | When law enforcement wants more money, it gives estimates of crime so severe it would seem that, for the protection of all citizens, leaving one's house should be made illegal. |

| | Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do : The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in Our Free Country |
| | In fact, McWilliams reasons, the removal of all such consensual crimes from the law books would: reduce taxes by as much as one-third, unburden the court system, decrase the country's staggering inmate population, and reduce _real_ crime by freeing up law enforcement's resources to pursue legitimate crimes such as arson, theft, rape, and murder. | | | McWilliams also takes to task the laws on assisted suicide, gambling, prostitution, bigamy and polyamory, "unorthodox" medical practices, pornography and obscenity, the expression of unpopular political views, and even the petty laws on seat belt use, public drunkenness, and vagrancy. | | | It's written in a manner that adresses the issue in a calm fashion rather than waving accusations around, and I think that those who may not agree with McWilliams will appreciate this. |

| | Agent provocateur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Within common law jurisdictions, the law of entrapment seeks to discern whether the provocateur's target intended to commit the crime he participated in with the provocateur, or whether the suggestion to commit the crime began with the provocateur. | | | An agent provocateur is often a police officer whose duty is to make sure suspected individual(s) carry out a crime to guarantee their punishment; or who suggests the commission of a crime to another, in hopes they will go along with the suggestion, so they may be convicted of the crime the provocateur suggested. | | | The activities of agents provocateurs pose a number of ethical and legal issues. |

| | Limon's attorneys, court-appointed public defenders, argued that this discrepancy in sentencing violates the guarantee of equal protection of the laws, that gay teens are subject to draconian long-term sentences for engaging in conduct that draws a much shorter term for heterosexuals. | | | Kansas has a so-called "Romeo and Juliet" law, under which legislators impose sharply reduced penalties when teenage boys and girls are found to have engaged in consensual illegal sex. | | | According to the court's opinion, it is "not clear from the record how the police became involved in this case," but when they interviewed Limon, he readily admitted what he had done. |

| | And if they could be made to understand it his way, their objection to legalization of consensual crime would cease. | | | "What is indisputably true is that this is the economic system we have." Since we allegedly have this system, and since laws against consensual acts generally involve violations of property rights and free markets, we should reject such laws. | | | This emphasis on religion is fundamentally mistaken, wastes hundreds of pages, and leads McWilliams to make silly arguments, such as claiming that all laws against consensual crimes violate the First Amendment because they are really establishments of religion. |
