Description

The Perception of Risk by Paul Slovic examines the critical gap between how experts and the public understand risk in modern society. This Routledge volume brings together Slovic's influential work on risk perception and risk management, tracing the evolution of understanding from early studies of public misconceptions to contemporary research that validates the importance of equity, trust, and power in risk assessment. Ordered chronologically, the book allows readers to follow how our comprehension of risk perception has developed over time, moving beyond technical evaluations to recognise the legitimate concerns and values that shape how people assess danger. Essential reading for professionals in insurance, finance, and policy who need to understand why public risk perception often diverges from expert analysis and how to bridge that critical divide.

Key Features

The Perception of Risk compiles Paul Slovic's foundational research on how individuals and communities assess danger differently from technical experts.

This Routledge publication traces the chronological evolution of risk perception studies, from identifying public misconceptions to validating equity and trust concerns.

The book addresses the gap between expert risk views and public perceptions, exploring psychological and social factors that influence decision-making.

Designed for professionals in insurance, finance and policy, this text provides practical insights into understanding and communicating risk to diverse audiences.

The work incorporates recent findings that recognise the legitimacy of values such as trust, power and equity in how people perceive and respond to risk.
