'wrong' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'student touring adriatic resort shortly' is the wordplay.
'student' becomes 'cal' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'touring' is an insertion indicator (tour can mean to go around).
'adriatic resort' becomes 'rimini' (I've seen this before).
'shortly' means to remove the last letter.
'rimini' with its final letter taken away is 'rimin'.
'cal' enclosing 'rimin' is 'CRIMINAL'.

'about' acts as a link.
