/mɜːrdʒər əv ɒfɛnsɪz/ – Phrase
Definition: kết hợp nhiều hành vi phạm tội.
A more thorough explanation: A merger of offences refers to a legal principle where multiple charges or offenses arising from the same act or transaction are combined or consolidated into a single charge or offense for the purpose of prosecution or sentencing. This principle prevents a defendant from being punished multiple times for the same conduct.
Example: The merger of offences occurred when the defendant was charged with both theft and fraud, but the court decided to merge the charges into a single count of fraud.
