A crime usually involves a victim, which is someone who.
victim, which means that no one should be hurt. It is.
true that if no one was hurt by a type of conduct, in my.
opinion it should not be a crime. If no one is getting.
hurt, then don't mess with them. However, that is the.
overall question as to whether someone is truly hurt by.
these victimless crimes. To determine whether this type.
of conduct should be a crime, one must first determine.
whether anyone is hurt by this type of conduct. Many.
people believe that there has been a decline in the.
moral course of our society. It is now a lot easier to.
see nudity; kids can even see nudity now on regular.
cable television. Also now with a computer with.
internet access in almost every home, people are "just a.
click away" from seeing any and everything pornography.
has to offer. And that includes young kids, our little.
brother and sisters and our kids. So as for.
pornography, yes there is a victim. Kids are victims as.
they see this pornographic material, which dilutes their.
minds. Men and women both are also victims, as they.
become addicted to this material. Some people who may.
have never seen any pornographic material are also.
victims. Some people who see pornography become so.
addicted, that it causes them to want something they.
don't have. Pornography has caused many people to.
commit crimes. That's how these innocent people are.
victims, because they are secondary victims to these.
sexual predators. These sexual predators commit such.
crimes as stalking, rape, molest kids, and even in some.
extreme cases murder. All these things come about.
through just a simple picture. So although it seems as.
though there is no victim to this crime, there truly is.
Society as a whole is hurt by this specific conduct. .
Prostitution also has many victims. Although.
prostitutes do consent and they choose to be the ones to.
sell their body, they are really just victims of the.
money they are able to bring in.
