This book offers fresh approaches to 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.
