The Handbook of Risk and Crisis Communication explores the scope
and purpose of risk, and its counterpart, crisis, to facilitate the
understanding of these issues from conceptual and strategic
perspectives. Recognizing that risk is a central feature of our
daily lives, found in relationships, organizations, governments,
the environment, and a wide variety of interactions, contributors
to this volume explore such questions as "What is likely to happen,
to whom, and with what consequences?" "To what extent can science
and vigilance prevent or mitigate negative outcomes?" and "What
obligation do some segments of local, national, and global
populations have to help other segments manage risks?", shedding
light on the issues in the quest for definitive answers. The
Handbook offers a broad approach to the study of risk and crisis as
joint concerns. Chapters explore the reach of crisis and risk
communication, define and examine key constructs, and parse the
contexts of these vital areas. As a whole, the volume presents a
comprehensive array of studies that highlight the standard
principles and theories on both topics, serving as the largest
effort to date focused on engaging risk communication discussions
in a comprehensive manner. Now available in paperback, the Handbook
of Risk and Crisis Communication can be readily used in graduate
coursework and individual research programs. With perspectives from
psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, economics,
and communication, the Handbook provides vital insights for all
disciplines studying risk, and is required reading for scholars and
researchers investigating risk and crisis in various contexts.
