Quality-of-life offense - Answer- a minor violation of the law (sometimes called a petty crime ) that demoralizes community residents and business people . Quality-of life offenses involve acts that create physical disorder (for example excessive noise or vandalism) or that reflect social decay (for example panhandling and prostitution).
