Taking Care examines the reasons why people take precautions - and
the reasons why they do not. Some authors offer theoretical
perspectives on issues ranging from the cognitive processes of the
individual to the values and historical trends in the larger
society to illuminate the puzzle of self-protective behaviour.
Others look at prevention programmes themselves: the forms they
take, the assumptions they make, and the success or failure they
meet. A unique feature of the book is its attention to different
types of hazards and its integration of the knowledge that has been
gained from research and practical experience in health promotion,
natural hazards preparedness, occupational safety and health,
consumer safety, and community crime prevention. The underlying
questions addressed in these different fields of study are much the
same, but in the past there has been little communication.
