Crime that undermines government (7)

I believe the answer is:

treason

(Other definitions for treason that I've seen before include "Serious crime" , "Crime of disloyalty" , "Deliberate act of betrayal" , "Criminal attempt to overthrow a government" , "One's art? (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
