Disorderly conduct refers to behavior that is unruly, disruptive or disturbing to others. It can include actions such as fighting, using abusive language, creating noise, causing a public nuisance, or engaging in other behaviors that are likely to cause harm or alarm to others. Disorderly conduct is often considered a minor offense and may result in fines, community service, or counseling rather than imprisonment. However, repeated instances of disorderly conduct can lead to more serious consequences.
