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.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: increase; increase.

Explanation:

Suppose in the market for online tutoring, there is an increase in the supply of online tutors during the final week. This will cause the supply curve to shift to the right. At the same time, the demand for online tutors increases more than supply. This will cause a rightward shift in the demand curve as well.

The rightward shift in both curves will cause the equilibrium quantity to increase. Since the increase in demand is greater than the increase in supply, the equilibrium price will increase as well.
