Preferred term

risk and public policy  

Definition

  • The relationship between risk and public policy goes back to the 17th-century Prussian origins of scientific enquiry into policy and state science, as part of cameralist Policeywissenschaft (German for “public policy”). The systematic study of policy was to ensure the well-being of the local state and its subjects. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Risk and Public Policy]
