Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how criminalité appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Même et surtout si le criminel est un demi-responsable pour des motifs d’ordre pathologique (et cela est presque la règle, car, en somme, la criminalité est le plus souvent presque une maladie dont la délinquance est la forme atténuée), la peine sévère aura sur lui une action plus forte que la demi-peine.
La situation de la criminalité se distingue dans son ampleur et dans sa structure de l’image qu’en donnent les médias.
