Another good term is "sumptuary" crime (meaning crime on consumption),
since most of the so-called victimless crimes are illegal due to laws
regulating various sorts of lifestyle.  (Roman sumptuary laws extended to
governing how many entrees you could serve at a dinner party.  Japanese
sumptuary laws extended to governing how large a percentage of your
income you could spend on a daughter's marriage.)
