penal code
This term is used exclusively within legal and judicial registers to describe the statutory framework of criminal law. It carries a formal, authoritative tone and is typically employed by legal professionals, law enforcement, and judges during trial proceedings or when drafting legal documents.
While a general "code" can refer to any system of rules, a "penal code" specifically targets the intersection of crime and punishment. It is distinct from a "civil code," which governs private disputes between individuals rather than crimes against the state.
