Concurrent offences definition
Concurrent offences means a situation where the same offender commits several offences simultaneously or successively before being finally convicted for one of them. The absence of previous convictions distinguishes this from the recidivism. Several systems – for example in Belgium – distinguish between cases where the same offender commits several separate acts punishable under the criminal law and cases where one and the same act is an offence against several different statutory provisions.
