Crimestopper gets pressure from police rule-breaker (5)
I believe the answer is:
cheat
'police rule-breaker' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'crimestopper gets pressure' is the wordplay.
'crimestopper' becomes 'c' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'pressure' becomes 'heat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'c'+'heat'='CHEAT'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cheat that I've seen before include "Con" , "Two-timer" , "rook" , "Teach? (Anag)" , "Deceive, defraud" .)
