Noun

kejahatan

1. crime

Synonyms

• pelanggaran hukum (Literally: violation of law)

Usage notes

Whereas the noun kejahatan is constructed from jahat (bad, evil), it may be replaced with the word pelanggaran (or pelanggaran hukum), which is constructed from langgar (to crash, to violate), for more objective semantics, such as victimless crimes.
