Periodicals

1. Computers and Society. Published by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computers and Society, ACM Headquarters, 11 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036.

This quarterly includes announcements as well as contributed articles. As the title suggests, its interests are broader than strictly computer ethics.

2. CPSR Newsletter. Published by the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, P.O. Box 717, Palo Alto, CA 94301.

This publication is also a quarterly, and includes contributions from CPSR members. The subjects are generally political as well as ethical in nature. The group has been particularly active in nuclear and SDI issues.

3. Software Engineering Notes. The newsletter of the ACM Special Interest Group on Software Engineering, ACM, 11 West 42nd St., New York, NY 10036.

This monthly newsletter includes technical articles on software engineering, but the section most appropriate to this article is called “Risks to the Public in Computers and Related Systems.” The RISKS section presents short, informal descriptions of computer or systems related accidents, crimes, disasters, or potential disasters. The people who contribute to this section seem particularly sensitive to the human costs of computer systems.
