確かく信しん犯はん

noun

crime of conscience

Legal term: a crime committed out of firm moral, political, or religious conviction, where the offender believes the act is justified. Not a general term for premeditated crime.

• 彼かれは自じ分ぶんの信しん念ねんに基もとづいて行こう動どうした確かく信しん犯はんだと主しゅ張ちょうした。

  He claimed he was a crime-of-conscience offender who acted on his beliefs.

noun

premeditated crime; knowing wrongdoing

Colloquial misuse that has become widespread: an act done with full awareness that it is wrong or against the rules. Often used for deliberate rule-breaking rather than legal premeditation. Originally considered incorrect, but now common in everyday speech.

• スピード違い反はんは確かく信しん犯はんだ。

  Speeding is a deliberate violation.

• 彼かれの遅ち刻こくは確かく信しん犯はんで、注ちゅう意いしても直なおらない。

  His lateness is intentional; he doesn't stop even when warned.
