The risk problems facing society today have many characteristics that limit and otherwise complicate the application of formal analysis. Since not all problems possess these complicating qualities to the same degree, some problems may be addressed more effectively by certain decision-aiding approaches than by others. To identify the most useful approach, the analyst must clearly understand the decision problem being addressed. A comparative evaluation of approaches must therefore begin with a characterization of social risk management decisions. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the nature of social risk management and to identify some of the important dimensions along which risk decisions differ. Discussed first is the nature of the risks that create public concern and pressures for government action. This is followed by a discussion of possible government roles in risk management and an exploration of the factors that make government risk decisions difficult. Next, the institutions and mechanisms that have evolved for social risk management are summarized, and finally, a preliminary taxonomy is provided for distinguishing among risk problems.
