A crime committed by an individual or a group for financial gain in which no citizen gets physically harmed or killed, the only victimization from these crimes are a financial loss from a corporation, a bank, or a government entity, which are usually justified by those committing these crimes because of how much those entities screw citizens on an everyday basis.
Most victimless crimes are fraud schemes, however there are a few exceptions to this such as recreational narcotic possession, prostitution (as long as both parties are consenting adults), and shoplifting.
Victimless crimes are also way more attractive to a lot of criminals or everyday citizens that have a one time wild nerve to make some extra cash, as these crimes yield MANY less years in prison than crimes where someone gets hurt. Example of this is someone being a 3rd time check fraud offender getting sentenced to 2 years in prison, versus someone who is a 1st time offender committing an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and getting 5 to 10 years.
Billy Ray: Hey Jimbo, you ever heard of credit card skimming? We can go place these over the card readers at the corner store and have cvvs for days!! It's a victimless crime, definitely will not result in a trip back to the state pen for the 3rd time!
Jimbob: hell yeah! Let's do it. Fraud is poppin!

A word invented by common thieves and shoplifters in order to justify their actions.
Despite what you may believe, there is no such entity as victimless crime.
