rap sheet

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

'list of his convictions?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'crooked husband peers at' is the wordplay.
'crooked' is an anagram indicator (a crooked or disrupted version of the letters).
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'h'+'peers'+'at'='hpeersat'
'hpeersat' anagrammed gives 'RAP SHEET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rap sheet that I've seen before include "'Written record of charges (3,5)'" , "Where to find previous" , "record of arrests" , "Criminal record, colloquially" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
