divisible offense

Read a random definition: alvei mutatio

A quick definition of divisible offense:

A divisible offense is when someone breaks the law by doing something wrong, but it's not a really big crime. It could be something like stealing a small thing or being too loud in public. It's not as serious as a felony, which is a really big crime. There are other types of offenses too, like when someone takes something that doesn't belong to them or when someone plans to do something wrong but doesn't actually do it yet. In England, an arrestable offense is when someone can be put in jail for up to five years for doing something wrong.

A more thorough explanation:

A divisible offense is a violation of the law, often a minor one, that can be broken down into smaller parts or elements. It is a type of criminal offense that can be divided into separate acts or charges, each of which can be punished separately.

For example, if someone commits a burglary, they may also be charged with other divisible offenses such as trespassing, theft, and vandalism. Each of these offenses can be punished separately, even though they are all part of the same criminal act.

Another example of a divisible offense is drug possession. Depending on the amount and type of drug, a person may be charged with multiple offenses such as possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to distribute, and drug trafficking.

The concept of divisible offenses allows prosecutors to charge defendants with multiple crimes for a single act, which can result in harsher punishments. It also allows defendants to be held accountable for each individual offense they commit.
