In the United Kingdom, ''nonce'' is a slang word for a pariah within a community of prisoners, typically a sex offender, child sexual abuser or one who has turned Queen's evidence. ''Nonce'' also means "now",〔Oxford English Dictionary Online, s.v. nonce, ''n.''2.〕 though this usage is rare, and has other meanings in the terms ''nonce word'' and ''cryptographic nonce''. ==Usage in English prisons== ''Nonce'' first came into widespread use in UK prisons, where it is primarily used by prisoners to refer to convicted sex offenders, especially abusers of children. "Nonces" are traditionally targets of physical abuse from their prison inmates, and so usually go on Rule 45 (formerly Rule 43),〔 〕 the rule that enables the segregation of vulnerable prisoners from the other prisoners for their own safety. The Rule 45 section of British prisons in which sex offenders are segregated (also known as going on 'The Numbers' or, in rhyming slang, 'The Cucumbers') is often referred to as the "nonce wing".〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nonce (slang)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
