Legal Definitions - complainantless crime

A complainantless crime is a type of crime that does not require a victim or complainant to report it to the authorities. It is also known as a victimless crime. These crimes are considered illegal because they violate laws and regulations set by the government.

• Drug use or possession
• Prostitution
• Gambling
• Public intoxication
• Illegal parking

These examples illustrate that complainantless crimes are often related to personal choices and behaviors that are deemed harmful to society. Even though there may not be a direct victim or complainant, these actions are still considered illegal and can result in punishment by law enforcement.
