There may be a problem with other languages. In mine "crimen" and "criminal" are stronger than they are in English, they are closer to murder (although no one has to die). For the English "crime" (any breach of the law) we have a different word: "delito".
Of course, if you are talking in English you should use the English words with the English meanings, but people who don't have English as mother tongue may be prone to some misunderstanding. In this case I might think that "criminal" is a much stronger word than it is.
