What is the most common vice crime committed by individuals under 21?

• A. Alcohol violations.
• B. Tobacco violations.
• C. Gambling violations.
• D. Alcohol and tobacco violations.

Answer: (D)

The main concept tested is understanding which offenses are most common among people under 21 in the vice-crime category. Alcohol and tobacco violations are the most frequent because laws around purchasing and possessing these items are highly enforced and directly affect everyday situations. Minors commonly attempt to buy or possess alcohol and tobacco, and retailers and enforcement programs routinely check and penalize these violations. This high exposure and regular enforcement create much higher incident rates for alcohol and tobacco offenses than for other vice categories. Gambling, on the other hand, is typically restricted to those 21 and older, so under-21 individuals have fewer opportunities to engage in it, making it less common in this group.
