Outlaw in Mini? Carl Batty! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

criminal

'outlaw' is the definition.
(I know that outlaw can be written as criminal)

'mini? carl batty' is the wordplay.
'batty' is an anagram indicator.
'mini'+'carl'='minicarl'
'minicarl' is an anagram of 'CRIMINAL'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for criminal that I've seen before include "hood" , "Felon, lawbreaker" , "Person who breaks the law for a living" , "Being sought by police" , "Violating the law" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
