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.

In addition to the Ohio river valley to what other region did pitt expand his attacks on the French
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: It was a conflict that involved England and Prussia on one side; on the other, France, Austria and Russia. The dispute spans America, Europe and India. In the English colonies of North America it is known as the War against the French and Indians, as armies on both sides involved indigenous tribes in the struggle.

The English victory was sealed with the Treaty of Paris, whereby France ceded Canada, the Ohio Valley and part of the Antilles to the English, but retained Haiti, Guadeloupe and Martinique; for the Spaniards, who assisted the French in America, France delivers the west of Mississippi, while the Spaniards give Florida to the English.

To win the war, British Prime Minister Willian Pitt dumped troops and money on the colonies. As a result, military spending was high; To rebalance the budget, the British impose heavy taxes on American settlers, which is considered to be one of the immediate causes for the start of the United States independence movement.
