  • Drug crimes. The drug-crime category encompasses a range of offenses connected with the use, transportation, purchase, and sale of illegal drugs.

  • Political crime. The political-crime category contains both crimes by the government and crimes against the government. Political goals motivate political criminals.
  • Victimless crime. Consensual acts (in which people are willing participants) and violations in which only the perpetrator is hurt, such as the personal use of illegal drugs, are called victimless crimes.
  • White-collar crime. White-collar crimes are offenses that persons commit while acting in their legitimate jobs and professions. White-collar criminals behave in unethical ways for self-gain (for example, embezzlement) or for the benefit of a business (for example, corporate price-fixing). Victims of white-collar crime include the economy, employers, consumers, and the environment.
