That sums it up. Rights over distorted statistical privileges. It's like in Holland, where there is so called less crime, but drugs are legal and rapists visit prostitutes to gratify themselves. A society that allows privileges to go above rights will see a right as a crime and a self-privileging criminal act as an act of freedom.

I'm not clear what your point is, but it seems that if drug users can get their drugs legally, then drive bys, muggings, and liquor store robberies will decline. And clearly, if rapist patronize prostitutes in lieu of raping, that is a societal benefit.

Let's be clear on the difference between vices and crimes.
