Go ahead and commit a crime (5)
I believe the answer is:
forge
'go' is the definition.
(forging is a kind of going)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forge that I've seen before include "Form by heating and hammering" , "Smith's workplace" , "Ironworks" , "1 across" , "Furnace for heating metal" .)
