Shaw, Judy & Johnson, Branden. A look inside: Risk communication and public participation within the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Retrieved from https://doi.org/doi:10.7282/T3BP01H7
DescriptionThe NJDEP has developed a reputation as a monolithic bureaucracy which is unresponsive, uncoordinated and hostile to public involvement in its decision-making process. Yet recent survey research conducted on the status of risk communication and public participation in the agency shows a strong predilection by staff to work with the public on issues of mutual concern. In fact, the data indicate that most staff and managers are strongly committed to the goals of communication and participation, believe those goals to be important and want to do more in those areas with support and guidance from the agency administration.
