Derecho penal es la rama del Derecho Público que regula la potestad punitiva del Estado, asociando a hechos, estrictamente determinados por la ley, como presupuesto, una pena, medida de seguridad o corrección como consecuencia.	Criminal law is the branch of Public Law which regulates the punitive powers of the State. It associates acts strictly determined by law with a corresponding penalty, security measure or correction.
Cuando se habla de derecho penal se utiliza el término con diferentes significados, de acuerdo con lo que se desee hacer referencia; de tal modo, puede hablarse manera preliminar de un Derecho penal sustantivo y, por otro lado, del Derecho penal adjetivo o procesal penal.	When we talk about criminal law, the term is used with different meanings, according to what we want to refer to; on a preliminary basis, we can talk about substantive Criminal Law or, on the other hand, procedural or adjective Criminal Law.
El primero de ellos está constituido por lo que generalmente se conoce como código penal o leyes penales de fondo, que son las normas promulgadas por el Estado, que establecen los delitos y las penas, mientras que el derecho procesal penal es el conjunto de normas destinadas a establecer el modo de aplicación de las mismas.	The first of these is made up of what is generally known as the criminal code or basic criminal laws, which are the rules issued by the State, establishing the crimes and their penalties, whereas procedural criminal law is the set of regulations designed to set out how they should be applied.
