سحقا للإجرام/للجريمة/سحقا لها
"to hell with something/somebody" is an idiomatic expression that means something / somebody is not important and/or damned him /it
and the translation here in this context has to be a translation of meaning not literal words so it can be
أن تسخر الجهد و الوقت و المال و كل ما تملك كي تتقي /تمنع الجريمة ؛سحقا لها

: But I believe that he is not cursing crime, but all the effort needed to stop it. So he's cursing the whole ordeal, on the verge of giving up

: I think the Arabic ought to reflect the force of the English. I mean it's different from "Let;'s forget about it">

الجحيم
"المال، الوقت، الجهد المبذول، و كل ما تملك لمنع الجريمة..
إلى الجحيم بكل هذا!"
As for 'سحقا للاجرام', I believe the last line refers not to Crime, but to "Effort, money," etc. Therefore I would dare to say it is irrelevant.
That is, of course, if there is not more exacerbating context :)
