Association of criminals (4)

I believe the answer is:

gang

'association of criminals' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gang that I've seen before include "Criminals collectively" , "Organised group of workmen" , "Group acting with common purpose" , "Posse" , "crowd" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), the USA Today and the Thinks.com.
