Considering the above, one way to identify petty offenses, and perhaps the most important method for distinguishing these crimes from larger ones, is to pay attention to the amount of punishment determined by the legislator and the classification presented in criminal laws.
For this reason, when referring to dictionaries and legal texts, we find that the meaning of the term petty offense (1) is mostly crimes that disrupt public order, and most of them have imprisonment penalties of less than one year or fines with small amounts, including crimes such as vagrancy, begging and pickpocketing, abuse, harassment, environmental pollution, driving without a license, and drunkenness in public places.
In summary, the Broken Windows theory states that ignoring disruptions to public order and engaging in destructive acts such as writing or drawing shapes on walls, dumping garbage, damaging people's property, and petty crimes such as drinking alcohol in public and vagrancy indicate a lack of attention to criminality and creates a breeding ground for more serious crimes.

Measures such as increasing fines related to traffic violations and implementing plans to collect violating motorcyclists, combating vagrancy, begging, and thugs by the police indicate a new approach to dealing with petty crimes that disrupt public order.
