Sociology of disaster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sociology of disaster is a special branch of sociology. The research is predominantly done in the United States, but also in Germany and Italy as well. Theoretically it includes not only local disasters, but catastrophes on a grand scale. A prominent researcher in this area is Robert A. Stallings. The field is closely linked with environmental sociology.
