Stuck on 37 down.
Root through eccentric volunteers for gangster(10)
I have -A-O-R-S-A

I assume that volunteers is TA but cannot make sense of the rest.

Many thanks in advance for any help or thoughts.

Could it be camorrista? The Italians have (I think) got a secret society called camorra.

Yes .. Cam (eccentric) + orris (root) + ta (volunteers)
