Brooke is a social psychologist interested in risk communication, public and practitioner attitudes to, perceptions of, and responses to health and security risks and threats.  Her multi-disciplinary, collaborative research projects explore psychological and behavioural responses to low likelihood, high-impact events such as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) incidents.  Other projects focus on community and organisational resilience, protecting crowded places, pathways into violent radicalisation, insider threat, risk communication with vulnerable groups, and more.
