Explanation
กฎหมาย means “law,” and อาญา is related to criminal punishment. Together, กฎหมายอาญา means the law dealing with crimes and penalties. It is a formal term used in legal, court, police, news, and academic contexts. In many contexts it corresponds to “criminal law,” and sometimes more specifically “penal law.”
Usage
It is commonly used in news about crimes, discussions of courts or police, legal advice, and law school classes. It is useful when distinguishing criminal matters from civil matters or discussing whether an act is punishable under criminal law.
Caution
Do not use it casually just to mean “something bad” or “possibly illegal.” It is also not the usual term for civil disputes such as contract breaches or money-related conflicts.
