Mental model #1: system #1 and system #2 ; Mental model #2: cognitive biases ; Mental model #3: first principles thinking ; The mental models in practice I-mental models 1-3: system 1 and system 2, cognitive biases, and first principles thinking -- Part II. How we think about math. Mental model #4: false linear thinking ; Mental model #5: binary percent changes ; Mental model #6: second order thinking ; The mental models in practice II-mental models 4-6: false linear thinking, binary percent changes, and second order thinking -- Part III. How things concentrate. Mental model #7: the Pareto principle ; Mental model #8: the law of crime concentration ; Mental model #9: the felonious few ; The mental models in practice III-mental models 7-9: the Pareto principle, the law of crime concentration, and the felonious few -- Part IV. How things vary. Mental model #10: distributions ; Mental model #11: law of large numbers ; Mental model #12: regression to the mean ; The mental models in practice IV-mental models 10-12: distributions, law of large numbers, and regression to the mean -- Part V. How to determine causality. Mental model #13: correlation is not causation ; Mental model #14: causal inference ; Mental model #15: Bayesian (probabilistic) reasoning ; The mental models in practice V-mental models 13-15: correlation is not causation, causal inference, and Bayesian reasoning -- Part VI. How to think scientifically. Mental model #16: peer review your perspectives ; Mental model #17: the scientific method ; Mental model #18: evidence-based practice ; The mental models in practice VI-mental models 16-18: peer review your perspectives, the scientific method, and evidence-based practices -- Part VII. How to make decisions. Mental model #19: targeting, testing, and tracking ; Mental model #20: harm indexes ; Mental model #21: decision-making models ; The mental models in practice VII-mental models 19-21: triple t-targeting, testing, and tracking, harm indexes, and decision-making models -- Part VIII. How to apply it all. Conclusion: how the twenty-one mental models can improve policing and reduce cognitive bias ; Mental model method -- how it all fits together, mental models 1-21. 
520 |a "This book goes beyond other police leadership books to teach practitioners how to think about policing in a structured way that synthesizes criminological theory, statistics, research design, applied research, and what works and what doesn't in policing into Mental Models. A Mental Model is a representation of how something works. Using a Mental Model framework to simplify complex concepts, readers will take away an in-depth understanding of how cognitive biases affect our ability to understand and interpret data, how crime manifests itself in society, what empirical research says about effective police interventions, how statistical data should be used in management meetings, and how to evaluate interventions for efficiency and effectiveness. While evidence-based practice is critical to advancing the police profession, it is limited in scope, and is only part of what is necessary to support sustainable change in policing. Policing requires a scientifically based framework to understand and interpret data in a way that minimizes cognitive bias to allow for better responses to complex problems. Data and research have advanced so rapidly in the last several decades that it is difficult for even the most ambitious of police leaders to keep pace. The twenty-one Mental Models were synthesized to create a framework for any police, public, or community leader to better understand how cognitive bias contributes to misunderstanding data and how to overcome those biases to better serve your communities by reducing harm to your communities. The book is intended for a wide range of audiences, including law enforcement and community leaders; scholars and policy experts who specialize in policing; students of criminal justice, organizations, and management; reporters and journalists; individuals who aspire to police careers; and citizen consumers of information about policing. Anyone who is going to make decisions about their communities based on data, has a responsibility to be numerate. Twenty-one Mental Models That Can Change Policing will help you become just that"--  |c Provided by publisher.
