Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loitering refers to the act of remaining in a particular public place for a protracted time without any apparent purpose, often with the implication of behaving in a manner deemed suspicious or unwanted by others. Begging, however, is a specific activity where an individual asks others for money or goods, which does not necessarily equate to loitering unless Sam is also lingering without clear purpose beyond begging.
