Criminals in party, it needing reflection? (8)

I believe the answer is:

banditti

'criminals' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for banditti that I've seen before include "Violent robbers" , "Criminals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
