Incitement to riot, say, in second issue (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sedition

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'incitement to riot' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in second issue' is the wordplay.
'in second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'issue' becomes 'edition' (edition is a kind of issue).
's'+'edition'='SEDITION'

'say' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sedition that I've seen before include "Rabble-rousing" , "Mutiny" , "agitation" , "Stirring up of rebellion or disorder" , "Criminal behaviour" .)
