Curator note

Differentiated from absolute harm in that it combines amount of harm with probability of harm. Thus a high risk of harm involves both high probability of harm and high amount of harm. A low risk of harm could involve a low probability of a high amount of harm. This term should probably not be used without quantifying the degree of risk and the amount of harm in objective terms.
