What are 'quality of life crimes'?

Quality of life crimes refer to minor offenses that have a noticeable impact on the livability and overall quality of a community. These crimes include activities such as vandalism, public intoxication, loitering, and disorderly conduct. While they may not be classified as major crimes, their cumulative effect can contribute to a sense of disorder and decline in the community's environment. Addressing these types of offenses is essential for maintaining a safe and welcoming atmosphere for residents.

The other options focus on different types of crimes that either do not align with the concept of quality of life or pertain to severity and consequences that are not characteristic of the lesser offenses typically labeled as quality of life crimes.
