The Elements of Disorderly Conduct, Vagrancy and Loitering
A Class B misdemeanor is committed by anybody who participates in indecent, aggressive, boisterous, abusive, unreasonably loud, profane, or otherwise disorderly conduct in a public or private place with the intent to produce or instigate a disturbance (Gewirtz et al., 2019). Vagrancy is a condition or behavior in which a person has no permanent residence and moves from place to place without apparent or legal sources of support (Mayssara A. Abo Hassanin Supervised, 2014). Purposeful unemployment is still called vagrancy, but it also includes a variety of disruptive behaviors such as being drunk in public, professional gaming, and living off of the welfare of others. The arraignment should indisputably demonstrate the accompanying two components of the offense of loitering and prowling at preliminary: the litigant loitered or prowled in a spot, at a time, or in a way not common for reputable people, and the respondent's conduct, loitering or prowling, happened under conditions that justified legitimate and sensible alert or prompt concern (Chief, n.d.).

At Common law there was no offense known as "disorderly conduct" although misconduct that was of such a nature as to constitute a public nuisance was indictable. Today, Disorderly Conduct is usually a misdemeanor. Vagrancy typically referred to the status of being homeless, penniless, and on the street or simply an unsavory character while loitering typically was defined as being someplace in public without purpose.
