    Abstract

    Issues of risk are foundational to people’s lives in contemporary societies, a fact sharply highlighted by the recent history of practices associated with the financial markets, science and technology, workplace health and safety, environmental policy and biosecurity, law enforcement and criminal justice. Exploring such issues is central to our understanding of how professional practice impacts on human relationships in contemporary social life.
