Public Behavior

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, June 22, 2004.

New Hampshire Attorney General Peter Heed is the latest casualty in a series of political figures accused of "behaving badly" in public. What standards do we hold politicians to and what standards do they hold themselves to? We'll look at what role power and authority has in how these people's public actions are judged and what the expectations of the general public are when it comes to determining appropriate behavior for their public officials. Laura's guest is Brad Cook, Attorney who practices corporate and business law among other things at the law firm of Sheehan, Phinney, Bass and Green in Manchester. Cook also writes a regular column for the New Hampshire Business Review called "Cook on Concord". Also, Elizabeth Osoff, Professor of Psychology at St. Anselm College. She studies the psychology of political behavior, from the perspective of both voter and candidate.
