infractors

Those who transgress

Infractors are people who violate rules, laws, or agreements.

The word appears most often in legal or administrative contexts: Repeat infractors face steeper penalties.

It carries a formal, bureaucratic tone—you're more likely to encounter it in policy documents than casual speech.
