犯罪是个动词。

犯罪
fàn//zuì
动 做出危害国家和社会、依法应处以刑罚的事。
------------------------------------

Editor: Yes, it's a verb.
But, like other Chinese verbs, it also functions as a noun.
ex.
- 此类犯罪正在减少
- 我们认为, 犯罪与刑罚具有一种互动关系。
- 性犯罪

You may argue that the noun glosses are unnecessary, but simply saying "犯罪 is a verb" does not address that issue.
Diff:
# - 犯罪 犯罪 [fan4 zui4] /to commit a crime/crime/offense/
# + 犯罪 犯罪 [fan4 zui4] /to commit a crime/
