Unlawful act (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crime

'unlawful act' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for crime that I've seen before include "Illegal deed" , "Speeding, perhaps" , "Killing, for example" , "Murder, perhaps" , "An act punishable by law" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the Canadiana, The Times, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
