public order crime should be distinguished from political crime. in the former, although the identity of the "victim" may be indirect and sometimes diffuse, it is cumulatively the community that suffers, whereas in a political crime, the state perceives itself to be the victim and criminalizes the behaviour it considers threatening. thus, public order crime includes consensual crime and victimless crime. it asserts the need to use the law to maintain order both in the legal and moral sense. "public order crime" is now the preferred term by proponents as against the use of the word "victimless" based on the idea that there are secondary victims (family, friends, acquaintances, and society at large) that can be identified.
