It's enforced as naughty child does wrong (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imposed

'it's enforced' is the definition.
('impose' can be a synonym of 'enforce')

'naughty child does wrong' is the wordplay.
'naughty child' becomes 'imp' (I've seen this before).
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'does' anagrammed gives 'osed'.
'imp'+'osed'='IMPOSED'

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for imposed that I've seen before include "Forced to be accepted" , "Thrust oneself upon" , "set as a task" , "enforced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
