Masculine influence produces delinquent (10)
I believe the answer is:
malefactor
'delinquent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'masculine influence' is the wordplay.
'masculine' becomes 'male' ('male' can be similar in meaning to 'masculine').
'influence' becomes 'factor' (I've seen this before).
'male'+'factor'='MALEFACTOR'
'produces' is the link.
(Other definitions for malefactor that I've seen before include "culprit?" , "Wrongdoer" , "One doing wrong" , "Criminal, evil-doer" , "bad person?" .)
