A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “repeater” refers to a person who commits a crime more than once, typically within a specified period of time or under certain circumstances that enhance the severity of the offense or the punishment imposed. The term is often used in the context of sentencing enhancements or habitual offender statutes to impose harsher penalties on individuals who are repeat offenders.
Example: The defendant was charged with possession of a stolen repeater, a violation of the state’s firearms laws.
