Careless criminal's banged up without charge (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inconsiderate

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

'careless' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'criminal's banged up without charge' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'criminal's' could be 'cons' (abbreviation for 'convict') and 'cons' is located in the answer.
'charge' could be 'rate' (rate is a kind of charge) and 'rate' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inconsiderate that I've seen before include "Self-centred" , "rude" , "Unkind" , "Thoughtless, rash" , "Careless" .)
