What will one think about the following?

Crimes against public order and morals are intended to uphold minimum standards of decency and civility. Most of them have ancient roots, but in modern times, they have become associated with efforts to improve the quality of life, as in watchman-style community policing. Quality of life laws govern the range of behaviors- from public nuisances to public indecencies, to public immoralities, to controlled substance use. They are usually general intent crimes where a judgment of offensiveness typically makes the inference of intent (purposely, knowingly, recklessly) to some reasonable person's sensibilities. In other cases, like those involving substance abuse, they are usually strict liability crimes.
