Controversial reason for electronic crime, perhaps (7)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for emotive that I've seen before include "Eliciting intense feeling" , "Stirring feelings" , "Causing strong feelings" , "Arousing great feeling" , "Moving - controversial" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
