This book provides a comprehensive demonstration of risk analysis
as a distinct science covering risk understanding, assessment,
perception, communication, management, governance and policy. It
presents and discusses the key pillars of this science, and
provides guidance on how to conduct high-quality risk analysis. The
Science of Risk Analysis seeks to strengthen risk analysis as a
field and science by summarizing and extending current work on the
topic. It presents the foundation for a distinct risk field and
science based on recent research, and explains the difference
between applied risk analysis (to provide risk knowledge and tackle
risk problems in relation to for example medicine, engineering,
business or climate change) and generic risk analysis (on concepts,
theories, frameworks, approaches, principles, methods and models to
understand, assess, characterise, communicate, manage and govern
risk). The book clarifies and describes key risk science concepts,
and builds on recent foundational work conducted by the Society for
Risk Analysis in order to provide new perspectives on science and
risk analysis. The topics covered are accompanied by cases and
examples relating to current issues throughout. This book is
essential reading for risk analysis professionals, scientists,
students and practitioners, and will also be of interest to
scientists and practitioners from other fields who apply risk
analysis in their work.
