Carefully selected to reflect the latest research at the interface
between public health and criminal justice in the US, these
contributions each focus on an aspect of the relationship. How, for
example, might a person's criminal activity adversely affect their
health or their risk of exposure to HIV infection? The issues
addressed in this volume are at the heart of policy in both public
health and criminal justice. The authors track a four-fold
connection between the two fields, exploring the mental and
physical health of incarcerated populations; the health
consequences of crime, substance abuse, violence and risky sexual
behaviors; the extent to which high crime rates are linked to poor
health outcomes in the same neighborhood; and the results of public
health interventions among traditional criminal justice
populations. As well as exploring these urgent issues, this
anthology features a wealth of remarkable interdisciplinary
contributions that see public health researchers focusing on crime,
while criminologists attend to public health issues. The papers
provide empirical data tracking, for example, the repercussions on
public health of a fear of crime among residents of high-crime
neighborhoods, and the correlations between HIV status and
outcomes, and an individual's history of criminal activity.
Providing social scientists and policy makers with vital pointers
on how the criminal justice and public health sectors might work
together on the problems common to both, this collection breaks new
ground by combining the varying perspectives of a number of key
disciplines.
