Present Risk, Future Risk Or No Risk - Measuring And Predicting Perceptions Of Health Risks Of A Hazardous Waste Landfill, William K. Hallman, Abraham H. Wandersman
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Given that perceived risk is multidimensional, the authors seek better understanding by focusing on health risks and, more particularly, on their temporality. In this way, they attempt to measure more meaningfully psychological influences on risk perceptions.

The Separation Of Facts And Values, Arthur Kantrowitz
The Separation Of Facts And Values, Arthur Kantrowitz
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Kantrowitz maintains that much modern pessimism derives from failure to separate what is from what ought to be and urges that scientific conflicts be resolved as value neutrally as possible.

Coping With Phantom Risks In The Courts, Peter W. Huber
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Huber describes "phantom" risks as those tending to hover indefinitely, never to crystallize. He argues that legal procedures should optimally lead' to closure and eliminate unwarranted fears.

Evaluating The Expertise Of Experts, Kristin S. Shrader-Frechette
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Professor Shrader-Frechette maintains that a rigid distinction between risk assessment and risk management is unwise. Concerned about procedural fairness, she argues that the public should have a voice in both.

Alternative Dispute Resolution In Patent Controversies, Norman L. Balmer
Alternative Dispute Resolution In Patent Controversies, Norman L. Balmer
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Perceived Risks Of Emfs And Landowner Compensation, Linda J. Orel
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Although public concerns about EMFs may eventually prove groundless, they can nevertheless depress the market value of residential property near powerlines. Ms. Orel argues that the scientific truth, as courts increasingly recognize, should play no role in determining whether or how much landowners should recover.
