Update: 2010-03-24
Description
We are constantly being exhorted to change our behaviour to reduce the chances that things will turn out badly for us, and the government is continually intervening to make our society 'safer'. But are we being too cautious? In this lecture, Professor David Spiegelhalter will look at attempts to measure and communicate the benefits, and possible harms, of risk reduction in a range of areas, from swine flu to climate change, heroin to hang-gliding.
