Dispossess some crime victims (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evict

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

'some crime victims' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'EVICT' is hidden in the letters of 'crime victims'.

(Other definitions for evict that I've seen before include "Force out; expel" , "Expel from residence" , "remove someone" , "Remove from a residence" , "Expel from home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
