Fraternization

Offenses Against Public Order and the Administration of Justice

Fraternization is the establishment of personal or intimate relations between individuals or groups in a manner considered to transgress legal, moral, or professional norms, and it is criminalized in institutional settings such as militaries, law enforcement, and prisons where it threatens discipline or operational integrity. In a military context, fraternization typically refers to improper personal relationships between officers and enlisted personnel, or between service members and civilians or the enemy, and it is prohibited to preserve morale, protect the fair treatment of subordinates, and prevent the unauthorized disclosure of information; fraternization with the enemy in particular can carry the same gravity as treason or sedition under military law.

Has Offense Grade

Entity-backed identity for the offense-grade enum value this offense already carries, resolved to a crime concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The offense-grade fact itself stays on the offense unchanged.
