/həˈbɪtʃuəl əˈfɛns/ – Phrase
Definition: hành vi phạm tội thường xuyên.
A more thorough explanation: A habitual offence refers to a criminal act that is committed repeatedly or regularly by an individual, indicating a pattern of behavior rather than an isolated incident. This term is often used in legal contexts to describe a person who has a history of engaging in unlawful activities on a consistent basis.
