Void for vagueness cases have historically fallen into two categories—those dealing with obscenity laws and those dealing with loitering and vagrancy statues. Several cases, including Winters v. New York and State v. Metzger address void for vagueness specific to obscenity laws. In both cases the courts declared the laws were too vague. Several cases have also dealt with the meaning of loitering and vagrancy statues. Students can cite examples such as Kolender v. Lawson andPapachristou v. City of Jacksonville. a. Result Crimes. b. Conduct Crimes. c. Harmful Crimes. d. Tort.
