I believe the answer is:

skit

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

'satire necessitates elements' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'of risk i think' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'SKIT' is hidden within 'risk i think'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skit that I've seen before include "Parodic sketch" , "Lampoon" , "Send-up" , "Short comic piece" , "A piece of humorous mimicry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
