Conduct crimes are offenses that involve actions or behaviors that are deemed illegal, regardless of any harm caused to individuals or society. These crimes typically include activities such as drug possession, prostitution, and gambling, which are prohibited by law even if they do not directly harm others. The focus is on the act itself rather than its consequences, making them distinct from other types of crimes that involve direct victimization.

Generally, most crimes require a "mens rea" or intent requirement. For example, murder generally requires that you intended to cause the death of a person. However, there are some crimes that do NOT require an intent to commit the crime. Those crimes are much more uncommon and include such crimes as manslaughter. You didn't' intend to cause the death of another person, but your negligent actions resulted in a death.

Criminal conduct under special circumstances refers to illegal activities that occur in specific contexts or conditions that may influence the severity of the crime or the legal consequences. These circumstances can include factors such as the perpetrator's mental state, the vulnerability of the victim, or the use of particular methods that elevate the crime, such as hate crimes or crimes committed against children. In some jurisdictions, laws may impose harsher penalties for crimes committed under these special circumstances to reflect the increased moral culpability or societal impact.

Strict liability crimes
Disorderly conduct is one of the most common crimes charged in the United States. It is almost always a misdemeanor and is almost never a crime of moral turpitude (involving honesty, integrity, etc.) The good thing about it is disorderly conduct is one of those crimes that in which your behavior that caused the violation can be explained because the charge is often subjective to police interpretation. For example, continually honking a horn in a residential neighborhood at 2am could get you a charge of disorderly conduct. Now, that probably wouldn't be too serious to a prospective employer , but on the other hand, if your disorderly conduct involved something like picking up a prostitute or running naked down a street screaming, you would definitely be a turn off to a prospective employer. In short, chances are not likely a disorderly conduct charge would keep you from getting a job as long as it does not show a pattern of bad behavior.
