/kənˈsɛkjətɪv ˈsɛntənsɪŋ/ – Phrase
Definition: việc xác định những hình phạt phải chấp hành tuần tự.
A more thorough explanation: Consecutive sentencing refers to the practice of imposing multiple sentences for separate offenses to be served one after the other, rather than concurrently. This means that the individual must serve the sentences for each offense one after the other, resulting in a longer overall period of incarceration.
Example: The judge imposed consecutive sentencing on the defendant, requiring him to serve each of his three 5-year sentences one after the other, totaling 15 years in prison.
