Ross

I believe the answer is:

abets

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">assists in crime</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for abets that I've seen before include "Assists in crime" , "Assists dealer, say" , "Aids and encourages" , "Aids in wrong-doing" , "Assists or encourages" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Universal.
