Afternoon plenary:
2.00 - 3.00
Trust, rumours and public perception |
| How should governments
engage the public? Does the public trust government enough to
heed their terror warnings? Governments now talk up the possibility
of issuing warnings through 'grassroots organisations', by enlisting
community groups and schools and colleges to help with communicating
threats. Will this make warnings more effective? |
