Write of some miscreants breaking the law? (6)

I believe the answer is:

scrawl

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

'write' is the definition.
(I know that scrawl is a more specific form of the action the write)

'some miscreants breaking the law?' is the wordplay.
'some miscreants' becomes 'scr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'law' is an anagram of 'awl'.
'scr'+'awl'='SCRAWL'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrawl that I've seen before include "Write hastily" , "Poor handwriting" , "Write carelessly or sloppily" , "Messy drawing, possibly" , "Scribble" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
