And the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble is also rather unique.
Because it serves as a catch-all legal provision.
The maximum penalty is under five years—not too severe, not too lenient.
This prevents serious crimes from being punished too lightly, or minor crimes too severely.
For example, gathering in a public place to assault someone might be suspected as intentional injury.
However, if the injuries are assessed as minor, it doesn't constitute intentional injury, and the accused might even be acquitted.
To prevent such outcomes, the law can hold the perpetrator accountable for 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble,' ensuring they don't evade responsibility, with a sentence of less than five years.
Likewise, if someone were to beat another person to the point of serious injury, the crimes of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' and 'intentional injury' could be considered together, with the offender sentenced for the more serious crime.
