Assignment Task: Imagine you are a member of a research ethics board, and the chair of the REB has asked you to come up with criteria for assessing the level of risk in social research.
1. Develop detailed criteria and provide examples to illustrate what would be considered "low/minimal risk," "moderate risk," and "probable/high risk" of harm in social science research.
2. What sort of safeguards would researchers need to have in place to carry out research involving these levels of risk?
