Can't riot (anag.) (8)
I believe the answer is:
traction
(Other definitions for traction that I've seen before include "(In orthopaedics) the pulling on a bone or limb to relieve pressure during healing" , "Pulling - into cart (anag)" , "Act of pulling" , "Stretching of a broken bone by weights and pulleys" , "Which leaves on the line will affect" .)
