Crime against the state (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treason

'crime against the state' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for treason that I've seen before include "One's art? (anag)" , "Lese-majesty" , "Disloyalty (to one's country)" , "Crime of disloyalty" , "Gunpowder Plot, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph, The Mirror, The Guardian, The Independent, the Evening Standard and the King Feature Syndicate.
