Sex, prostitution, pornography, drug use, gambling. All are regulated by criminal law. We will focus on the special category of crimes that have traditionally been viewed as "victimless" and prosecuted primarily for the purpose of enforcing morality. We will explore the legal and theoretical dimensions of criminal vice regulation, including debates about morality and harm, and ramifications of prohibition and enforcement.
