Criminal dominates Kent town (9)

I believe the answer is:

maidstone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kent town' is the definition.
'maidstone' can be an answer for 'town' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'kent' bit.

'criminal dominates' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'dominates' anagrammed gives 'MAIDSTONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for maidstone that I've seen before include "Kentish Town" , "prison" , "Dominates in market town of Kent, England" , "City in Kent" , "County town of Kent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
