Public order crimes are offenses that disrupt societal norms and public peace, often referred to as "victimless crimes." These include activities like drug use, prostitution, and gambling, where the actions primarily affect the individuals involved rather than causing direct harm to others. Law enforcement often targets public order crimes to maintain community standards and safety. While some argue that these activities should be decriminalized, others believe that regulating them helps prevent more serious crimes and protects vulnerable populations. The debate continues over the best approach to managing these behaviors within society.
