Vices Are Not Crimes challenges conventional thinking by arguing that personal vices—acts of self-indulgence or moral weakness—are not crimes punishable by law. This thought-provoking work makes a compelling case for individual liberty, asserting that moral behavior cannot be legislated and that the role of the state should be limited to preventing harm to others. Written in a sharp and logical style, this timeless treatise continues to inspire debates about personal freedom, the role of government, and the ethics of punishment.
