Wicked Issues
• Wicked issues have incomplete, contradictory, and changing
requirements; and solutions to them are often difficult to recognize
as such because of complex interdependencies. H. J. Rittel and M. M. Webber
(1973)
• Issues whose solution require large groups of individuals to change
their mindsets and behaviours are likely to be a wicked issue.
Examples:
–

Deprivation
Alcohol misuse
Site provision for Gypsies
Affordable housing
Transport in a largely rural county
