Prof Laurence Alison MBE
Laurence Alison has an international track record of publishing on the
subject of high stakes decision-making, investigative profiling and
investigative interviewing. His core area of interest is social
cognition and the processes by which individuals make sense of
uncertain, high risk, ambiguous, complex or contradictory information,
with special reference to decision inertia, anticipatory thinking and
the use of simulated environments and debriefing tools to train
practitioners to overcome decision inertia and to increase the efficacy
of multi agency communication.
