Recidivism: habitual relapse into crime, a state with which those of us recidivists who frequent the pun thread are all familiars.

Recidivism
Stop! Murder us not, tonsured rumpots! Knife no one, fink!
great word there Sluggo, but doesn't it also mean to relapse from Medieval Latin recidvre, from Latin recidvus, falling back, from recidere, to fall back : re-, re- + cadere, to fall; see kad- in Indo-European roots.]
