Summary:

Deciding where to draw the line on culpability can be trickier than it initially seems, and this book goes through all of the sometimes unexpected factors that could appear just but undermine safety. Dekker (humanities, Griffith U.) treats both philosophical questions, such as why we might actually need to assign blame, and examines specific incidents such as the 1973 Israeli shooting down of a Libyan airliner. In addition to revisions and enhancements, this second edition adds new material on ethics and on caring for the professional who actually makes the key mistake.
