three strikes laws  

Definición

  • Three-strikes laws, a particularly punitive type of recidivist statute (a law that increases punishments for repeat offenders), exist in about half the states and are often enacted by the voters via the initiative process. As in baseball, on the third “strike” (usually a serious or violent felony), the offender is “out,” often meaning he or she is sentenced to an indeterminate life sentence and may in fact serve the rest of his or her life in prison. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community Corrections; Three Strikes and You're Out]
