Offender (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

culprit

'offender' is the definition.
(I know that culprit is a type of offender)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for culprit that I've seen before include "Offender or guilty party" , "One perpetrating crime" , "baddie" , "Perpetrator of a wrongdoing" , "The person to blame, the guilty one" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
