Criminal: he takes in harassed female (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
sneak thief
'criminal' is the definition.
(sneak thief is a kind of criminal)
'he takes in harassed female' is the wordplay.
'harassed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'he'+'takes'+'in'='hetakesin'
'hetakesin' with letters rearranged gives 'sneakthie'.
'sneakthie'+'f'='SNEAK-THIEF'
(Other definitions for sneak thief that I've seen before include "One acting in appropriate way" , "He pinches" , "nicker?" , "Person who steals via an open door or window" , "Burglar" .)
