Good man associated with criminal image (7)

I believe the answer is:

benefit

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

'good' is the definition.
(I know that benefit is a type of good)

'man associated with criminal image' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'Ben'.
'associated with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'criminal image' becomes 'efit' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'criminal' bit.).
'ben'+'efit'='BENEFIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for benefit that I've seen before include "Financial assistance" , "(Gain) advantage" , "allowance" , "Advantage (from social security?)" , "Something that aids" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
