It can and should however regulate criminal acts

How do we define what is a criminal act except by our moral perception of it? We define murder as criminal because of our moral perception of a right to life. We define stealing as criminal because of our moral perception of a right to property. Etc.

exactly, acts of moral deprevity(sp?) that occur between consenting parties(adults)
versus those that harm, or cause harm, to others.
is how I define it.
