there is a willing exchange of goods of services. E.G. prostitution,
gambling
6. Order disruption- personas are involved in actions where there is no direct
victim, but concern is raised about potential victims. E.G. resisting arrest,
rioting.
7. Folk/mundane crime- a broad category whereby persons are involved in
actions that can range from minor rule violations e.g. fshing with no
licence to more serious violations e.g. load regulations on commercial
vehicles. Although much legislation is justifed in terms of creating order or
efficiency, folk/mundane criminal acts tend to foster public ambivalence
ad the public generally regards such as inconvenience or nuisance rather
than a crime.
