Criminalize means to make an action illegal and punishable by law. For example, if a government decides to criminalize drinking alcohol while driving, it means that people who are caught doing so will be arrested and charged with a crime. The word is used when a law is passed making a particular behaviour illegal, such as drug use or gambling. It is usually used in a serious or formal context, and should not be confused with other words like "prohibit" or "ban".
