Vandalised city’s plea for discipline (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

specialty

'discipline' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'vandalised city's plea' is the wordplay.
'vandalised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'citys'+'plea'='citysplea'
'citysplea' is an anagram of 'SPECIALTY'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for specialty that I've seen is " bag in America?".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
