vols de voiture

Je pense que "car crime" se réfère simplement à une atteinte à la propriété.

ex: Car crime nationally is decreasing, but there is still a need to be vigilant and take precautions. Make these precautions part of your routine and you will decrease your risk of becoming a victim:

remove all items of value from your vehicle when you park
lock doors and close windows
park in a safe place, which should be well-lit, preferably with CCTV
keep your keys safe at home
Note from asker:
It is a tricky one. The topic covers both theft from cars and theft of cars. Therefore the term chosen needs to include both 'vol de voiture' and 'vol à la roulotte', but also theft of cars via hijacking. what would be your opinion on 'délinquance routière', or is it too close to 'road rage' and the like??? I am trying to coin a word with the input of people like you who are answering my query. Thanks

vol, effraction et piraterie routière

je ne vois pas vraiment d'expression consacrée qui engloberait tous les concepts. Vol (theft of), effraction (theft from) et piraterie routière (carjacking) engloberait les trois...mais c'est un peu long :(

vol de voitures

D'après le contexte, il est clair qu'il s'agit de vols de voitures.

Vol de voiture est le terme consacré qu'on trouve dans les journaux. On trouve aussi vol de voiture avec effraction.

Délinquance routière est aussi une bonne formule. C'est un terme plus général qui conviendrait peut-être mieux. Il implique les vols de voiture et la piraterie.

I believe that "délinquance routière" is used for crimes done on the road, not on parked cars. hmmm, Tricky you are right.
I still believe it would be too restricted to use "vol de voitures", especially since we have not much context to consider.

Et pourquoi pas "vol de voitures et vandalisme" ? Ca engloberait tous les types de delits/crimes faits sur les voitures.

infractions automobiles

Since the topic covers both theft from cars and theft of cars, as you mentioned, you could say "infractions véhiculaires" too. The commonly used expression however in such a case is 'infraction automobile' which covers all scenarios.
