Evinced a bizarre perversion (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deviance

'perversion' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'evinced a bizarre' is the wordplay.
'bizarre' indicates an anagram.
'evinced'+'a'='evinceda'
'evinceda' with letters rearranged gives 'DEVIANCE'.

(Another definition for deviance that I've seen is " Unusual behaviour".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
