For any government agency, the distribution of available resources
among problems or programs is crucially important. Agencies,
however, typically lack a self-conscious process for examining
priorities, much less an explicit method for defining what
priorities should be. Worst Things First? illustrates the
controversy that ensues when previously implicit administrative
processes are made explicit and subjected to critical examination.
It reveals surprising limitations to quantitative risk assessment
as an instrument for precise tuning of policy judgments. The book
also demonstrates the strength of political and social forces
opposing the exclusive use of risk assessment in setting
environmental priorities.
