Crime of someone receiving stolen property (7)
I believe the answer is:
offence
'crime' is the definition.
(I know that crime can be written as offence)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for offence that I've seen before include "Cause of annoyance - crime" , "Crime - umbrage" , "Criminal action" , "Crime; insult" , "Aggressive action" .)
