They are both correct.

Which you choose depends on the context.

Please start your sentences with capital letters.

The example sentence would be:

The number of criminal girls has raised since 1950s.

Can I use also "girl criminals" in this sentence? What is the difference in meaning?

Thanks

Hi and welcome to EnglishForward.

criminal girls= girls who are criminals.

girl criminals= criminals who are girls. Here, if you say boy criminals, then it is 'criminals who are boys'.

You can use girl criminals in the sentence, but the meaning would differ as stated above.
