When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

incitation à la débauche

Ce terme est souvent utilisé, dans les textes jrudiques mais aussi dans la presse, pour des crimes liés à la prostitution, au proxénétisme et à la pédophilie...

une cause de dépravation morale

--
Note from asker:
"dépravation" tout court conviendrait mieux. Dépravation :n.f. L'idée de quelque chose qui a de mauvaises mœurs, qui est sans moralité. La dépravation de la société (syn. corrompu)

cause de corruption morale

mais pourquoi donc ne pas utliser l'expression parfaitement française qui signifie le même concept??

vous en trouverez des milliers de références très fiables en googlant " corruption-morale" (non que google soit la bible évidemment!)
