Burning crime (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arson

'burning crime' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for arson that I've seen before include "Crime of fire raising" , "Act of a pyromaniac" , "Pyromaniac crime" , "Crime involving fire" , "Crime of fire setting" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and The Wall Street Journal.
