Only if it's per code. eg inside conduit, armor, etc..
Check your local code enforcement officer for codes.
Never can the wires themselves - no - don't do it - stick
to code so your home insurance will protect you. Whether
you -have- to use conduit or not can only be answered by
knowing your particular code - make the phone call - you'll
be glad you did.

Does code allow for running power wires behind crown
molding? Do I
need to run the wires in conduit? Thanks.
