PPOL-810-20 RISK ASSESSMENT: METHODS & USES FROM ACROSS THE POLICY SPECTRUM
Professor Matthew Fleming
Resources are finite, and policy-making commands trade-offs. For example, an agency or department might focus on the prevention of nuclear terrorism at the expense of other priorities, such as violent crime policing or pandemic planning/response. But such a decision might not represent the best use of scarce resources, depending on the risk associated with each priority. This module examines risk assessment as a decision-making tool in the public policy context. It introduces students to the concepts and methods of risk, risk assessment, and risk management; and it presents applications of these concepts and methods in policy settings including homeland security, financial regulation, public health, and the environment. (1.5 credits, 2nd module).
