A large amount of evidence, mostly from research in psychology, suggests that decision-making and information processing abilities are often not optimal because the informational complexity of the world overwhelms human cognitive abilities and creates bias. This is exacerbated by contextual pressures, such as time constraints, dynamism and changing goals. Our aim in this chapter is to identify some of the key cognitive biases that contribute to uncertainty, as well as emerging mechanisms to manage them. We also discuss the importance of promoting realistic expectations of the police and security services in their responses to such uncertainty.
