The goal of this petition is to inspire the federal government to research the monetary and human cost of currently prosecuted "victimless crimes."
To review a list of victimless crimes and the statistics involving human and financial costs spent while prosecuting these crimes, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victimless_crime
For an illustration of a better system for the drug aspect of victimless crimes, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_Portugal#Observations
We propose that our government research possible solutions to these problems, and develop better solutions than our current ineffective and costly ones.
