Public-order offenders represent the largest percentage of the US prison population.

Public-order offenders are those convicted of a public-order crime. A public-order crime is a crime that disrupts the normal functioning of society and its members.

It is a violation of societal norms and customs. It is differentiated from trifle deviancy by degrees- a deviant behavior is criminalized if it is overly disruptive and can only be controlled through law enforcement.

They are often called ‘victimless’ or ‘complaintless’ as they do not directly harm another party, and at the most only those engaged in the act. Example include the use of illegal drugs from recreation, illegal prostitution, distributing obscene material in public, etc.

Answer:

Oral Stage.

Explanation:

The Oral Stage is the first stage of the Freud's theory of Psycho-sexual Stages of Development.

The Psycho-sexual Stages of development was the theory that was developed by the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. According to this developmental theory, a child's personality is developed through pleasure-seeking energies of an erogenous area.

The Oral Stage, according to the theory, ranges between the age from birth to 1 year. In this stage, the erogenous area is a mouth. In this stage, an infant seeks pleasure from oral stimulation such as sucking, rooting and eating.

So, the correct answer to the question, that is, the first stage that a child passes through is the oral stage.
