Public Order Crimes Law

Public order crimes are offenses that disrupt public peace and safety, often involving behaviors that society considers wrong or harmful, even if they don’t directly harm another individual. Common examples include drug offenses, disorderly conduct, prostitution, and vandalism. These crimes are typically viewed as infringing on communal values or order rather than being direct assaults on people. Law enforcement targets these behaviors to maintain social harmony and protect public spaces, though debates exist about their implications for personal freedoms and societal norms.
