You are of course

A calculator

Explanation:

The capital letters spell "MATH". Calculators are useful tools used to solve math problems, often in school. It can save you a lot of time. However, many tests forbid calculators, and using one would be considered cheating, which is a crime in some sense.

A potential answer can be:

Correction fluid.

Many people use me at school, As I am a useful tool, They use me so they can save time, However, sometimes, using me is a crime.

self explanatory. Regarding saving time thing instead of making a document again because of some petty mistake one can use correction liquid over them. Its abuse as an inhalant is a crime. Source Wikipedia
