Traitor's crime (7)

I believe the answer is:

treason

(Other definitions for treason that I've seen before include "One's art? (anag)" , "subversion" , "Stare on (anag.)" , "Crime of treachery against the state" , "Disloyalty (to one's country)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Newsday.com.
