Crime’s perpetrator (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

culprit

(Other definitions for culprit that I've seen before include "The person to blame, the guilty one" , "Person responsible for wrongdoing" , "he should have conviction" , "The one responsible for a crime" , "Offender or guilty party" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
