The chapters in this volume were originally papers presented at the 1991 British Sociological Association Conference on Health and Society, and they address a range of private risks and public dangers. Issues covered vary from the response to HIV and AIDS and ?«foetal alcohol syndrome?» to the nature of accidents. These seemingly diverse contributions have in common an insistence on looking at social situations within which risks appear and the ways in which agencies in society define and respond to those risks.
