English Explanation

犯罪 (はんざい) combines standard On'yomi readings: 犯 (ハン) for "to commit" and 罪 (ザイ) for "crime." It refers to an illegal act punishable by law. "ばんざい" or "ぱんざい" incorrectly voice 犯, while "はんさい" misreads 罪 as サイ instead of ザイ, which is a common misinterpretation.

日本語解説

犯罪(はんざい)は、犯(ハン)と罪(ザイ)の標準的な音読みです。法律で罰せられる違法行為を指します。「ばんざい」や「ぱんざい」は犯、「はんさい」は罪の読みを誤っています。
