Summary:
'Acceptable Evidence' enters into how the discussions of science and values in risk management have largely focused on how values enter into arguments about risks, that is, issues of acceptable risk. Instead, this volume concentrates on how values enter into collecting, interpreting, communicating and evaluating the evidence of risks, that is, issues of the acceptability of evidence of risk.
