Risk, interest groups and the definition of crisis
This paper considers a key aspect of the 'risk society' thesis: the belief that we should be able to manage risks and control the world around us. In particular it focuses on the interface between risk and risk events as socially constructed and the insights that 'critical situations' give us into 'the routine and mundane', the otherwise taken for granted assumptions underlying risk regulation. It does this with reference to the events precipitat…
Reforming regulation of the medical profession
Risk-based regulation is growing in popularity and in the UK has official backing as part of the government's modernization programme. State and non-state regulators alike are under pressure to adopt risk-based approaches. With radical reform of the General Medical Council (GMC) in progress, the rhetoric of risk-based regulation is used by both the Department of Health and the GMC, and is evident in the 2007 White Paper Trust, Assurance and Safet…
The Social Psychology of Making and Responding to Hospital Complaints
Drawing on a study of 399 hospital complaints entering the National Health Service formal complaints procedure, this paper analyzes the interaction between complainant and hospital as a social episode in which the hospital is called to account for violation of the complainant's normative expectations and makes its response. The non‐instrumental and uncrystallized character of many complaints is emphasized. Letters of complaint and replies from th…
Managers as Third‐Party Dispute Handlers in Complaints about Hospitals
Drawing on a study of 399 hospital complaints entering the National Health Service's formal complaints procedure and twenty‐five interviews with managers who deal with complaints, this paper reviews the nature of the roles played by the managers. Emphasis is placed on the variety of roles they adopt according to the nature of the complaint made, the person complained about, and the implications of the allegations. The managers, viewed as importan…
The Psychology of Routine Discretion
It is well recognized that discretion over the day to day enforcement of law is often exercised routinely by “repeat players.” However, the psychology of repetitive, routine decision making has not received particular attention. An empirical study of factory inspectors' discretion in screening accidents for investigation was conducted, using interviews with inspectors and analysis of records. The paper analyzes the selection decision as a process…

The Power of Accidents
Inspectorates of the Health and Safety Executive are notified of work accidents ranging from minor to catastrophic, and investigate a subset of around 5 per cent with a view to possible enforcement action. Drawing on empirical data on the Factory, Agricultural, and Railway Inspectorates, we discuss how the social and psychological impact of accidents affects the work of safety inspectors. Reactive enforcement following accidents has important adv…
The benefits of legal psychology
The law is in some ways an obvious area where psychology could be of benefit. Many of the problems the law and legal procedures deal with are essentially psychological in nature. Law, like psychology, is fundamentally concerned with how people think, feel and behave; with the causes and modification of behaviour; and with the processes of perception, memory and decision theory. At the same time, law is a particularly difficult area for psychologi…

Law and Psychiatry
THE relationship between lawyers and psychiatrists has ranged from uneasy compromise through mutual suspicion to bitter resentment and open attack. The difficulties facing psychiatric expertise in legal contexts are usually put down ultimately to irreconcilable differences in the explanatory frameworks of the two disciplines. In brief, psychiatry prefers to explain human behaviour in mechanistic terms; the law in voluntarist terms. Procedures and…

Psychology and the Law
Along with the other social sciences and the law, psychology and law has been expanding very markedly indeed in the past fifteen years or so, especially in North America but also in Britain and elsewhere. One clear indication of the extent of this expansion in the English speaking world is the phenomenal increase in publications appearing in psychology journals on topics related to law: it has been estimated that the annual total of such articles…
Convergent—divergent thinking and arts—science orientation
The relationship between divergent thinking, intelligence, and arts and science orientation was investigated in a sample of 310 unspecialized, mixed‐ability, third‐year pupils (142 boys, 168 girls), with reference to the converger‐diverger dimension. A factor for verbal divergent thinking, orthogonal to an intelligence factor, correlated significantly positively ( P
