Welcome. Public Order offences are charges such as affray, riot or rout. They are charges where there is a disturbance in or in the sight of a public area.
Some issues in public order offences are;
- “Who did what?” – Often the hardest part of riot charges is working out who did what.
- “What level of danger was posed to victims?”
- “What was the motivation for the offence?”
