The crime of mass disorder, at first sight, can be confused with the crime of hooliganism, given the social values that are threatened by committing the criminal act. In this regard, it is appropriate to carry out a comprehensive analysis with reference to the delimitation of the offences in question or, identifying the similarities and differences between the two offences is essential to ensure. In the Republic of Moldova, the number of violations against public security and public order is increasing, based on a wide range of causes. Respecting this social value plays a fundamental role in a democratic state. The comparisons identified and described between the offence of mass disorder and the offence of hooliganism are of major importance in the legal framing of the examined offences.
