Usage Note

Criminalità is an invariable noun (the accent on the final à signals both stress and that the plural form is identical: le criminalità). It refers to crime as a social phenomenon or rate, not to a single criminal act (for which use crimine or reato). La criminalità organizzata is organised crime.

Examples

"La criminalità è aumentata in quella zona."

Natural Translation

Crime has increased in that area.
