Criminal Renown is a term used to describe the notoriety of an individual who has committed a crime. It is often associated with INFAMY, which is defined as the state of being well known for some bad quality or deed. INFAMY is typically seen as a negative thing, and it is usually used to describe someone who has committed a crime or done something wrong. Criminal Renown is the result of this INFAMY, and it is the public recognition of an individual's criminal activities.
