What you've listed are criminal phrases who's definition vary by state. For example, Montana doesn't have first degree murder but does have deliberate homicide.
Go to your local library and get a copy of the criminal codes and each of your phrases should be defined in the index or statutes. Good luck.

Most of these definitions vary by jurisdiction (state/country).
Homicide is the killing of another person. Murder is the intentional killing of another person -- so, intentional homicide. Premeditated means planned -- having formed the intent significantly before the action.
What constitutes 1st or 2nd or 3rd degree can vary widely, however. Some use 1st degree for any premeditated murder. Some use 1st only for killing of a witness or police officer.
Manslaughter is the reckless killing of another person. Usually it's either murder caused by heat of passion, or by being massively and knowingly reckless. Sometimes it can include murder where other imperfect defenses (coercion, necessity, etc.) apply.
Involuntary manslaughter is also called negligent homicide, killing someone by accident, without the intent to kill them and without being excessively reckless.
Kidnapping is confining and/or transporting someone against their will. Negligent means doing it by accident, rather than intentionally.
Public intoxication should be obvious -- being intoxicated (drunk, stoned, etc) in public.
The others -- criminal mischief, disturbing the peace, lewd behavior -- are just like what they sound. But again, the precise definitions vary significantly by jurisdiction.

yea just like the rest of the people said they all vary by state and jurisdiction! and some states do not have all of these! I am a criminal justice major and i study those all the time! If you honestly want to know what they mean just grab a book and look them up. the bottom three are the ones that hold the least fine and punishment where i am from.

June is the month for outdoors lust, now because it continuously has been. The renowned song sung with the help of the two pages in 'As you like it' is an actual description of the sexual behavior of the agricultural working classification in early present day England. each and every little thing approximately it incredibly is precise: they make their way stunning to the different ingredient of the turning out to be cornfield, removed from the invigilating police state of the sixteenth-century village, and there discover the privateness they crave. You not often ever see rye turning out to be in England now, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it is the fanatics' crop par excellence, six feet tall with the help of the middle of June, a wall of protecting green. 'With a howdy and a ho and a howdy nonino' sounds harmless in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it incredibly isn't any longer. 'Nonino' is sixteenth-century for 'slightly the different' or perhaps 'howdy' has a lustful tinge to it. In Shakespeare, the be conscious 'usa' is often enriched with the help of the pun it includes. the whole stream of the song, for the duration of the fluffy acres of the fields and on into the secure and private mendacity place, is sexual.
