All over the place after street disturbance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strife

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disturbance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'all over the place after street' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' becomes 'rife' (both can mean widespread).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'rife' put after 'st' is 'STRIFE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strife that I've seen before include "Heated discord" , "Conflict, dissension" , "Trouble and discord" , "Refits (anag)" , "Conflict, dispute" .)
