Very simply, if a crime has occurred, then show me the victim. The victim should go down to the police station and fill out a complaint. This is how police work is done. Gambling, Prostitution and Drug use are only three examples of laws against peaceful behavior that do not have a victim. Now do you see it?
Libertarians are perfectly willing to get very tough on "real" criminals. Those are people who harm others physically or steal from others or do anything that produces a clear cut victim.
>>Libertarians want Prostitution to be legalized. Now if that ever happened, for sure, the overall crime rate would decrease, on paper.<<
There has never been any study that has shown that crime would increase if the vice laws were struck down. Yet there are dozens, hundreds of studies that show that crime will drop dramatically if vice laws are repealed.
>>Drug and prostitution are considered by the libs. to be vices, even though these seemingly personalized problems affect everyone involved and then some. <<
Just because someones behavior "effects" everyone around him does not mean the government should throw him in jail. I don't understand the logic that would lead you to take such a ridiculously harsh and unchristian approach to people who have problems with drugs, alcohol or gambling.
