The effects of rogue deeds (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impacts

'the effects' is the definition.
(impact is a kind of effect)

'rogue deeds' is the wordplay.
'rogue' becomes 'imp'.
'deeds' becomes 'acts' (I've seen this in another clue).
'imp'+'acts'='IMPACTS'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for impacts that I've seen before include "Collisions of jolts" , "It's camp (anag)" , "Bumps into, collides with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
