Public Order Crimes

Public order crimes are offenses that disrupt societal peace and safety, even if they don't directly harm others. They include activities like disorderly conduct, public intoxication, loitering, and drug offenses. These crimes are often viewed as violations of social norms rather than direct harm to individuals. Essentially, they reflect behaviors that society finds unacceptable and seeks to regulate to maintain order. While they may seem minor compared to violent crimes, they still carry legal consequences and can impact community well-being.
