A comprehensive term encompassing acts or conduct that seriously endanger or disturb public peace and order.
A breach of the peace was a common-law offense, but is presently governed by statute in many states. It is frequently defined as constituting a form of disorderly conduct. Examples include using abusive or obscene language in a public place, resisting a lawful arrest, and trespassing or damaging property when accompanied by violence.
An apprehended breach of peace is just a term meaning there was intent of disruption without an act of aggression or actual violence... like say a group is planning on disrupting a protest march and the police find out about their plans. In this case, the acts of aggression have not actually occurred yet; but, the police can arrest them based on an apprehended breach of peace.
