And what would you do about the crimes that *have* no victims?

Name one crime *which would result in a prison term* which does not have
any victims.

Buying some drugs for you and your mates (possession with intent to
supply).

Support may well be needed for the users,

and it may well not be. it may in fact be better for everyone.
I hearrd 'people' that grow cannibis and sprinkle finely cut glass mon
the buds as they grow
which increases the wieght of the end product.
But a 70 year-old growing his own and a bit for a friend might not
require medical treatment
for glass inhalation.
it might also be better for club goers to get their drugs in bulk from
a relible source
rather than someone just out for a profit and cutting it with rat
poisen.


in which case support staff
and those who pay for them (All taxpayers) may be considered victims.

Can they be considered victims if they're over charged/ripped off ?

Crimes may well have been committed in order to get the money.

And they may not have been.
Rememebr alcojhol and tobacco are also drugs which are mixed and sold
illegally
to 'victims'


Also,
which drugs? The users may be considered victims in some cases.

Looking at an indecent cartoon image of a child.

Possible. Although the idea for the cartoon must have come from somewhere..

There was TV comedy program about that some time agoi and the officals
admitted they
didnt; actually know the anser but iof someone got turned on by a
cartoon image
of a naked child it could be considered illegal.
The same was said of naked animals.


Having

completely consensual sex with an emotionally mature 15 year old.

Some believe that the current age of consent is too low. Although the
boundary between being 15 years 364 days and 16 years of age is
arbitrary, and differs between cultures and over time.

And teh mmore important point is the age gap between them.
How old were romeo and juilet ?


Downloading a copy of "The anachist's cookbook".

Possible, but not necessarily incurring a prison sentence if you take no
action based on its content.

Did teh same apply to lady chatterly lover or catcher in the rye,
didn;t one of those 'cause' the death of John Lennon ;-)


*From Wikipedia:-
"In 2007, a seventeen year old British youth was arrested in Britain and
faced charges under Terrorism Law in the UK for possession of this book,
*among other things*. He was cleared of all charges in October 2008,
after alleging that he was a prankster that just wanted to research
fireworks and smoke bombs."

I added the emphasis for clarity.
