The Analysis of Risks of Fatalities

Many important decision problems involve risks to the health and safety of members of the public. These risks include possible fatalities, sicknesses, and injuries, as well as psychological effects. For appraising alternatives in such contexts, decision makers need to address public risks in addition to other economic, social, and environmental consequences.
