VICE

Digital news disruptor

Vice is immoral or wicked behavior, especially habitual indulgence in degrading pleasures: gambling, drinking, and other vices.

A vice squad polices prostitution, drugs, and illegal gambling.

Vice also names a clamping tool with two jaws—spelled vise in American English.

As a prefix, vice- indicates a deputy or second-in-command: vice president, vice chancellor.
