Broken, as a code (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

violated

(Other definitions for violated that I've seen before include "Broken" , "Abused" , "Treated with irreverence in dovetail" , "Desecrated sacred place of dovetail." , "Transgressed (rule)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
