Abstract
This research study undertook a comparative analysis of nine tuning cases comprising six ‘true high’ cases ( three militant cases, two terrorist cases and one shooter case); one ‘false high’ (ex-terrorist) case; one ‘true low’ (non-terrorist) case and one contrived ‘false low’ that was a ‘true high’(school shooter) case. Each of these tuning cases was rated by expert peers drawn from specialist academics and experienced practitioners from six countries. The aim of the analysis was to quantify the extent of expert consensus on each of the nine cases and their variance in relation to ‘over’ and ‘under’ estimation of the risk level relative to the known risk positions in each tuning case.
