TV award for Juliet, as a crackman's associate (5)
I believe the answer is:
jemmy
'a crackman's associate' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'tv award for juliet' is the wordplay.
'tv award' becomes 'emmy' (I've seen this before).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'juliet' becomes 'j' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'emmy' after 'j' is 'JEMMY'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jemmy that I've seen before include "one's used to prise)" , "Burglar's short crowbar" , "Burglar's tool" , "Thief's crowbar" .)
