Restricted, CID curbs crime in a riot (13)

I believe the answer is:

circumscribed

'restricted' is the definition.
('circumscribed' can be similar in meaning to 'restricted')

'cid curbs crime in a riot' is the wordplay.
'in a riot' is an anagram indicator.
'cid'+'curbs'+'crime'='cidcurbscrime'
'cidcurbscrime' is an anagram of 'CIRCUMSCRIBED'.

(Another definition for circumscribed that I've seen is " Limited".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
