Moving pleas about to stop psychologist coming to crime-infested area (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
asphalt jungle
'to crime-infested area' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'moving pleas about to stop psychologist' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates an anagram (letters are moved around).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'to stop' becomes 'halt' (halt can mean to stop).
'psychologist' becomes 'Jung' (Carl Jung).
'pleas' with letters rearranged gives 'asple'.
'halt'+'jung'='haltjung'
'asple' enclosing 'haltjung' is 'ASPHALT JUNGLE'.
'coming' acts as a link.
