Criminal burning (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arson

'criminal burning' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for arson that I've seen before include "Sonar (anag.)" , "Malicious burning to destroy property" , "Malicious fire-lighting" , "Act of a pyromaniac" , "Crime of fire setting" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune and The Irish Times.
