Public order crime case law in the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is original research, pure and simple. There is such a theory as public order crime, which should have an article, but the selection of cases for this article (which is really just a collection of case blurbs) turns on nothing but the subjective judgment of its authors.

 * Delete as WP:SYNTH; none of these cases were analyzed by the courts under this concept, nor is this a mainstream view of these cases at present in the legal profession, nor is there any reason why these cases, and not any and all others involving obscenity law, zoning regulation of adult entertainment, homosexuality, and any other issues that could be said to be relevant to consensual crimes (and even under such a broad rubric, the inclusion of Hustler v. Falwell is puzzling because that dealt solely with a claimed personal injury, not public order embodied in a police power statute). If public order crime theorists think certain areas of case law are relevant to their theories or that certain cases particularly illustrate their points, note those in that article, instead of cherry picking to make what is at best List of United States Supreme Court opinions about which public order crime theorists have commented as relevant to their field, and at worst List of United States Supreme Court opinions some Wikipedia editors think are relevant to public order crime.  postdlf (talk) 19:35, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
