Help with a crime (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">help with a 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 abet that I've seen before include "Incite (to commit an offence)" , "Encourage or assist (someone) to commit crime" , "Aid and help, perhaps in crime" , "Assist criminally" , "Assist illegally" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Newsday, The New York Times and the USA Today.
