perpetrations
Deeds of wrongdoing
Perpetrations are acts of committing crimes, offenses, or harmful deeds.
The word carries a formal or legal tone, emphasizing deliberate wrongdoing: The perpetrations of fraud spanned multiple years.
It focuses on the doing rather than the doer—the crimes themselves rather than who committed them.
