"There is a belief that the usual practice of interpreting all neighbourhood issues as neat, police defined
categories such as crime types, or antisocial behaviour deny the reality of messy, everyday
community living. Whilst such framing and the application of police/partnership SARA problem solving
is appropriate in many or most cases, some “wicked” issues really are wicked. These need to
be acknowledged and kept as such, not simplified to bring them within a single or multi agency
tasking and coordination process that solves bits of them, or the police statistical aspects of the
problem. "

Making Community Policing more Wicked 10/02/14
There is a small neighbourhood in an East Midlands town in the UK that centres on an ancient church and graveyard. Within a few hundred metres are a sex shop, a pharmacy that supplies methadone to many of the town's drug users, homeless shelter, a massage parlour, a pawn shop, three workingmen's clubs, a night club, two pubs and a children's nursery. It is a perfect storm of anti-social behaviour and street drinking. Further, it is one of those hotspots of crime that has been frustrating the local police force for years, distracting PCSOs and officers alike from tackling serious acquisitive crime.
