I believe the answer is:

apprehensions

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

'concerns' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'under arrest suspect's initial' is the wordplay.
'under' says to put letters next to each other.
'arrest' becomes 'apprehension' (synonyms).
'suspect's initial' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'apprehension'+'s' is 'APPREHENSIONS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
