Punishable offence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crime

'punishable offence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for crime that I've seen before include "Lawbreaking" , "An act punishable by law" , "Wrong" , "Violation of law" , "Illegal act" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
