Public Indecency Law and Legal Definition. Public indecency is a blanket term for certain activities prohibited by law. The law may not explicitly define and prohibit these activities. Lewd conduct including sexual intercourse or deviate sexual intercourse in public and public nudity falls under public indecency.
In criminology, public-order crime is defined by Siegel (2004) as crime which involves acts that interfere with the operations of society and the ability of people to function efficiently, i.e., it is behaviour that has been labelled criminal because it is contrary to shared norms, social values, and customs. The presence of public order crimes encourages a climate of general disrespect for the law. 2  Many individuals choose to violate public order laws, because they are easily violable, and there is no victim to complain. 3  This encourages disrespect for the law, including disrespect for laws involving crimes with victims.
