Until the year 1967, it was a crime, for which you could be put in prison, to make homosexual love to someone in your own house. If they came in and caught you at it, you could be put into prison. This has changed - I'm talking about England, incidentally.
Patrick Macnee, British Actor (1922-  )

Thomas Francis Meagher, Irish Soldier (1823-1867)
First of all, I'm in favor of making price gouging a crime, and in fact, one the reasons I didn't vote for the Republican House version was because there were too many breaks for the oil companies.

If we were really tough on crime, we'd try to save our children from the desperation and deprivation that leave them primed for a life of crime.
Carrie P. Meek, American Politician (1926-  )
We've got to stop focusing solely on the symptoms of crime, and start caring about the causes as well.
