Varieties of Risk Representations
Journal of Social Philosophy 28 (3):123-143 (1997)
| Abstract | An approach to describing risk analysis, risk perception and risk interpretation under a single umbrella starting with a general definition of risk as "adverse consequences under uncertainty." The idea of risk representation is introduced as an omnibus term for many different ways of conceptualizing risk and deploying risk messages in science, government or society. | |||||||||
