continuing offense

A quick definition of continuing offense:

A continuing offense is when someone commits a crime that continues over a period of time. For example, if someone steals money from a bank every day for a month, it is a continuing offense. Other types of offenses include stealing someone else's property, committing a crime that is similar to another crime, and attempting to commit a crime that is punishable by law. In English law, an arrestable offense is a crime that can result in imprisonment for five years or more.

A more thorough explanation:

A continuing offense is a violation of the law that occurs over a period of time rather than in a single instance. It is an offense that continues to be committed until it is stopped or prevented.

For example, if someone is engaged in illegal dumping of hazardous waste, it is considered a continuing offense because it is an ongoing violation of environmental laws until the dumping stops.

Another example of a continuing offense is embezzlement, where someone continues to steal money from their employer over a period of time.

These examples illustrate how a continuing offense is different from a one-time offense, as it involves repeated violations of the law over a period of time.
