I am not well versed in law. Please someone explain to me the concept of a victimless crime, and the importance of the said "crime" to remain illegal.

I hate to be a dolt...
Many activities that were once considered crimes are no longer illegal in some countries, at least in part because of their status as victimless crimes. For example, in the United Kingdom in the 1950s, the Wolfenden report recommended the legalization of homosexuality for these reasons. Almost fifty years later, Lawrence v. Texas struck down Texas sodomy laws.
