Which of the following crimes involves acts that disrupt the peace and safety of society?

Public order crimes are those offenses that disrupt the peace and safety of society as a whole. They typically involve actions that are considered harmful to the community and may violate societal norms, even if they do not directly harm individuals or property. Examples include disorderly conduct, public intoxication, loitering, and prostitution.

These types of crimes are often referred to as "victimless crimes" because they do not necessarily involve a direct victim in the traditional sense; rather, they are seen as actions that undermine societal order and morality. The focus of public order crime laws is on maintaining public peace and safety, which justifies law enforcement intervention.

Property crimes involve stealing, damaging, or trespassing on someone else's property, while violent crimes directly harm individuals through physical force or the threat of it. White-collar crimes are non-violent offenses committed for financial gain, often in business settings, and do not typically disrupt public order in the way public order crimes do.
