Risk Perception Regarding Energy Production: Factor Structure In A French Sample, Etienne Mullet, Anne Bertrand, Cécilia Lazreg, Sheila Rivière Shafighi
Risk Perception Regarding Energy Production: Factor Structure In A French Sample, Etienne Mullet, Anne Bertrand, Cécilia Lazreg, Sheila Rivière Shafighi
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] "Considering that energy production is a key factor in the development of nations, it is important to have detailed information on the risks attributed by lay people to the different types of energy as well as the different stages of energy production. This study reports on the structure of risk perception with regard to energy production found among French participants. There have already been many investigations of risk perception related to energy production. . . .
The present study is a direct extension of the Mullet study. A similar, although more complete, set of items was used. These items …

Preface, Volume 1, Numbers 1 & 2, 2002, Jaime Ackerman, Elizabeth Hochberg
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Pierce Law Review. You may notice that a number of the articles in this edition are not typical for a law review. This is because the articles in this edition were held over from our predecessor publication, a scientific journal entitled RISK: Health, Safety & Environment. As a result. the articles in this volume are rather atypical for a traditional law review. and not all of them entirely legally-related in nature. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy having the opportunity to read articles on topics you would not have reviewed otherwise.

Managing The Iatrogenic Risks Of Risk Management, Jonathan Baert Wiener
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Analogizing to concerns that led the practice of medicine to shift from a specialist to a team-based approach, Dr. Wiener suggests that public and environmental health objectives would be better served if, e.g., regulatory jurisdiction were less atomized.
Psychosocial Risks Of Storing And Using Human Tissues In Research, Jon F. Merz
Psychosocial Risks Of Storing And Using Human Tissues In Research, Jon F. Merz

Does Risk Aversion Make A Case For Conservatism, Ralph M. Perhac Jr.
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Perhac argues that risk aversion, alone, and assuming it is justifiable, does not support the prefer ability of overstating, as opposed to understating, mean risk.
Comparing Risks Thoughtfully, Adam M. Finkel
Comparing Risks Thoughtfully, Adam M. Finkel
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Finkel argues that comparing risks is neither impossible nor immoral - but is nonetheless very difficult. He then discusses two major pitfalls of making such comparisons, one commonly cited and one routinely ignored, before sketching a framework for improving them.
Risk Criteria For Approving Or Rejecting Field Tests Of High-Performance Weapons, Shaul Feller, Michael Maharik
Risk Criteria For Approving Or Rejecting Field Tests Of High-Performance Weapons, Shaul Feller, Michael Maharik
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Because details are classified and participation by affected populations is limited, military test ranges impose difficult challenges on those responsible for their safety. Here, the authors catalog some of those challenges and suggest ways to address them.

From Comparative Risk To Decision Analysis: Ranking Solutions To Multiple-Value Environmental Problems, John Kadvany
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
While recognizing that the making of environmental policy is sufficiently complex that no one method can serve all conditions, Dr. Kadvany urges that more attention be given to multiattribute utility and decision analysis. He suggests this can help, e.g., to illuminate stakeholder values and generate alternative approaches.

The Role Of The Unconscious In The Perception Of Risks, Andrew F. Fritzsche
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Fritzsche argues that our world is too "rational" and that the psychology of the unconscious, as developed by Jung, can be key to understanding responses to hazards and to resolving conflicts that arise in the political management of risks.
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
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
