The use of the criminal law to punish those who transmit disease is
a topical and controversial issue. To date, the law, and the
related academic literature, has largely focused on HIV
transmission. With contributions from leading practitioners and
international scholars from a variety of disciplines, this volume
explores the broader question of if and when it is appropriate to
criminalise the transmission of contagion. The scope and
application of the laws in jurisdictions such as Canada, the United
Kingdom and Norway are considered, historical comparisons are
examined, and options for the further development of the law are
proposed.
