Acceptable Evidence: Science and Values in Risk Management - Environmental Ethics and Science Policy Series
Deborah G Mayo
In this contributed volume, issues of what counts as evidence of risk are discussed. The authors show that value judgements enter into expert and non-expert characterization of evidence of risk, but they deny that this means that no choice about risk management is better than another, and demonstrate the possibility and importance of objectively grounded risk assessment.
