Word before ring or after true (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crime

(Other definitions for crime that I've seen before include "Illegal activity" , "Violation of law" , "A serious offence" , "An act punishable by law" , "Dangerous driving perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
