      abstract = {High-threat decision-making is intrinsic to many domains  and carries an individual, organizational, and social  responsibility. Tactical and incident commanders make  decisions in the high-threat law enforcement context of  hostage rescue, armed barricaded suspects, and armed  suicidal individuals that can result in successful or  catastrophic outcomes. This book describes the experiences  and methods of making decisions in these types of extreme  environments. The presented research addresses learning  strategies that could better prepare leaders for  information processing in any high-threat domain, while  optimizing speed and accuracy in decision-making. This  volume emphasizes the role of adaptive expertise in  decision-making, and explains how mental models of  recurring patterns are created and retrieved, and why they  are necessary for effective situational assessments. This  book is ideal for police commanders and executives,  emergency response managers, first responders, and  criminology researchers. It is also well-suited for  professionals seeking further information about improved  high-threat decision-making strategies. One of the only  resources currently available on high-threat  decision-making in a law enforcement context Timely and  important topic as it relates to a police response during  extreme situations Applicable in multiple high-threat  decision-making domains.},
