A study of six risk regulation regimes in Unted Kingdown revealed that only half were exposed to substantial pressures of this type . Responses of organiztions in the "high-pressures"regimes were varied, but the overall pattern was consistent with a mixture of an autopoietic and stage-response hipothesis stressing blame prevention, and the article accordingly presents a hybrid "Catherine Whell" model of the observed patner. The article concludes by discussing the implications for policy outcomes
