second offense

二度犯案 / 再犯

`offense` 指的是「犯罪」或「違法行為」。`second offense` 特指一個人第二次犯下某種罪行，通常會面臨更嚴重的懲罰。Jake 提到的嫖客們就是因為 `second offense` 才被算作重罪。

I ran a prostitution sting through vice and arrested 30 guys for soliciting.

That's not a felony. It is when it's your second offense,

which is the case for ten of these gentlemen.
