The Vietnamese word "phạm nhân" is a noun that translates to "criminal" or "culprit" in English. It typically refers to a person who has committed a crime or is involved in illegal activities.
In more advanced contexts, "phạm nhân" can also refer to someone who is serving time in prison. In legal discussions, it might be used to describe the individual’s rights or treatment within the justice system.
While "phạm nhân" primarily means "criminal," in certain contexts, it can also refer to someone who has violated rules or regulations, not necessarily involving serious crimes.
