寻衅滋事罪与聚众扰乱社会秩序罪、聚众扰乱公共场所秩序罪的区别：

1、犯罪动机不同。寻衅滋事罪是为了满足不健康的心理需要；后二者的犯罪动机是为了实现个人的某种不合理要求，用聚众闹事的形式，扰乱机关、团体、单位的正常秩序等。

2、犯罪形式不同。寻衅滋事罪不要求聚众，后二者必须是多人以上以聚众形式出现。

3、客观方面不同。寻衅滋事罪在客观方面表现为随意殴打他人，情节恶劣的行为等，后二者在客观方面表现为聚众冲击国家机关、企事业单位、人民团体或者扰乱公共场所秩序、交通秩序，情节严重的行为。

4、犯罪主体不同。寻衅滋事罪的所有参与者都要以本罪追究刑事责任；后两者只追究首要分子和积极参加者的刑事责任。

参考双语例句：

The Special Rapporteur holds as a good practice the establishment in Estonia of a Police Rapid Response Unit (riot police) which aims at protecting peaceful demonstrators against attacks by provocateurs and counter-demonstrators and is trained in how to separate the main provocateurs from peaceful demonstrators.

虽然有报告称，在实践中这条规定的执行有时会遇到问题。特别报告员认为，爱沙尼亚设立警方迅速反应小组(防暴警察)，旨在保护和平示威者不受寻衅者和反示威者的攻击，并培训这些警察如何对主要寻衅者和 和平示威者作出区分，这是一个良好做法。

Such obligation includes the protection of participants of peaceful assemblies from individuals or groups of individuals, including agents provocateurs and counter-demonstrators, who aim at disrupting or dispersing such assemblies.

这种义务包括保护和平集会的参与者，防范以扰乱或驱散此类集会为目的的执法者、寻衅者和反示威者等个人和团体。
