Crime brings happiness to part of Yorkshire (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

joyriding

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

'crime brings' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'happiness to part of yorkshire' is the wordplay.
'happiness' becomes 'joy' (I have seen 'Great happiness ' mean 'joy' so perhaps 'happiness' could also mean 'joy').
'to part of yorkshire' becomes 'riding' (term for a regional division of Yorkshire).
'joy'+'riding'='JOYRIDING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for joyriding that I've seen is " "Sport" of car thieves".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
