Political crime (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

graft

'political crime' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for graft that I've seen before include "Hard work - illicit gain" , "Hard work; bribery" , "Hard work - corrupt profit" , "Make parts of different plants grow together" , "Means of propagation - hard work?" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
