Arnie has just beaten off a murderous attack by Bob. Plot over, Bob goes to jail, roll credits, right? Wrong. Maybe Arnie was bigger, or stronger, or could conceivably have run away. Either way, someone in a position of authority feels that Arnie was in the wrong inflicting whatever damage he did to Bob. Bob, on the other hand, is a poor victim. Cue drama. As with everything else law-related, expect the writers to interpret self-defence laws creatively. Examples of Crime of Self Defense include:

This often involves Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male); sometimes, it's due to Selective Enforcement. Compare Can't Get Away with Nuthin', Wounded Gazelle Gambit. An attacker may even play a Deliberate Injury Gambit to invoke this trope. A history of such cases In-Universe may explain occurrences of Once Is Not Enough.
