Discover LudwigThe phrase "criminal crime" is not correct or usable in written English
The phrase is redundant because the word "crime" by itself already implies something that has been done illegally. Instead of using "criminal crime," use a more precise descriptor such as "felony," "misdemeanor," or "offense." For example, "The defendant was convicted of a felony criminal offense."
