Abstract: Uncertainty in counter terrorism 4Cognitive biases lead to critical forms of uncertainty, which must be managed in the investigation of serious crime.Here we focus on their occurrence in counter terrorism investigations, which involves both inherent and created uncertainty.Dealing with such uncertainty in a time pressured, dynamic and high-stakes context can lead to error.While the inherent uncertainty in terrorists' motivations and actions cannot be easily influenced, the management of counter terrorism operations can have a direct influence on the amount of uncertainty that is introduced to the situation through strategies for decision-making and information interpretation.
