"Criminality"
There is no such word. The word to use is crime, as an example "there has been an increase in criminality in this area" = wrong & "there has been an increase in crime in this area" = correct.

"Criminality" does exist in a different context though
for instance when referring to crimes that exist in the same form in multiple countries - 'dual criminality' in extradition proceedings, for example.

ok so the word does exist after all but it is used incorrectly the majority of times it used.
