I believe the answer is:

arson

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

This might be a double definition.

'crime of one who satisfied' is the first definition.
'arson' can be an answer for 'crime' (crime of illegally starting a fire). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.

'a burning desire?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arson that I've seen before include "Malicious fire-raising" , "The act of firing" , "Malicious burning to destroy property" , "Roans (anag)" , "Incendiarism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
