Studies suggest that decision-makers are often looking at the world through a lens of misconceptions about themselves and about how the world works leading to unethical decisions. What are the ethical implications of this on the decision-making process of public safety professionals?

For example, assuming the research is correct, what factors may make it more or less likely that public safety professionals will have these misconceptions that can lead to unethical decision-making? Given the often high stakes involved in decisions made by public safety professionals, is it more concerning that they might be making them based on misconceptions? Is there something that can/should be done that would lead to fewer of these misconceptions by public safety professionals?
