The authors of this book have presented the subject matter of the actual state of behavioral science and the quirky decision-making and its implications for terrorism and law-enforcement in a fascinating and stimulating way. I highly recommend this book for all readers interested in terrorism and counter terrorism. Friedrich Schneider, Professor of Economics, Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria

Author Information

Peter J. Phillips is Associate Professor (Finance) at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. He applies decision theory, including orthodox and behavioural economics, to problem solving in counter-terrorism, intelligence, counterintelligence and law enforcement. He is particularly interested in showing how decision theory can be used to predict patterns of behaviour and in explaining how information (and disinformation) flows can be structured and organised. Gabriela Pohl is Lecturer (Social Science) at University of Southern Queensland, Australia. She uses decision theory to help people make better decisions, in law enforcement, counter-terrorism and intelligence contexts. Her work emphasises the importance of ‘thinking about thinking’ and she strives to show how decision-makers can use behavioural economics to simplify decision tasks and identify the systematic patterns of behaviour displayed by friend and foe alike.
