Good man with criminal image (7)
I believe the answer is:
benefit
'good' is the definition.
(I know that benefit is a type of good)
'man with criminal image' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'Ben'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'criminal image' becomes 'efit' (I have seen 'Suspect image' mean 'e fit' so perhaps 'image' could also mean 'e fit'. 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 "Good" , "Charity event" , "Advantage; dole" , "Fringe - -" , "Fine bet on to produce an advantage" .)
