Having no locks, bound to get caught by a group spying (8)
I believe the answer is:
alopecia
'having no locks' is the definition.
(having no hair - locks can mean hair)
'bound to get caught by a group spying' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'bound' could be 'lope' (to lope is to travel with bounding stride or bound) and 'lope' is located in the answer.
'caught' could be 'c' (cricket abbreviation) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alopecia that I've seen before include "Partial or complete absence of hair on the body" , "23" , "Loss of cover" , "distressed state" , "Shock loss" .)
