The word 犯人 is a Japanese word composed of two kanji characters: 犯 (han) which means "to commit a crime" and 人 (jin) which means "person". Therefore, 犯人 means "criminal" or "guilty person". The word is often used in news and police dramas in Japan. The etymology of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when the Japanese legal system was based on Confucianism and the punishment of criminals was seen as a form of moral education.
