We may be closer than I originally thought. If you truly believe that the existence of a victim is the deciding factor, then all that remains is a careful exploration of what victimless means.

If you feel someone can be a victim because they are denied some positive right over the behavior of others, then we still have an argument. Involuntary exposure to risk, by the way, is clearly an example of force in my view. In your studies of philosophy, have you read Robert Nozick? His book "Anarchy, State, and Utopia" discusses the issue of involuntary exposure to risk in more detail. You may find a lot to agree with in this book. Dave
