The crime of stirring up trouble is defined as the crime of disturbing social management order in the criminal law. Generally speaking, going to an individual's home is not considered as a category of social public order, so it should not be regarded as the crime of picking quarrels and stirring up trouble, but should be convicted and punished for the crime of illegally invading the house.
