This book approaches a variety of social and political issues that
have become highly polarized and resistant to compromise by
examining them through a population-based public health
perspective. The topics included are some of the most contentious:
abortion and reproductive rights; end-of-life issues, including the
right to die and the treatment of pain; the connection between
racism and poor health outcomes for African-Americans; the right of
same-sex couples to marry; the toll of gun violence and how to
reduce it; domestic violence and how the criminal justice model
fails to deal with it effectively; and how tort compensation and
punitive damages can further public health goals. People at every
point along the political spectrum will find the book enlightening
and informative. Written by eight authors, all of whom have
cross-disciplinary expertise, this book shifts the focus away from
the point of view of rights, politics, or morality and examines the
effect of laws and policies from the perspective of public health
and welfare.
