This book examines how legal causation inference and
epidemiological causal inference can be harmonized within the realm
of jurisprudence, exploring why legal causation and epidemiological
causation differ from each other and defining related problems. The
book also discusses how legal justice can be realized and how
victims' rights can be protected. It looks at epidemiological
evidence pertaining to causal relationships in cases such as
smoking and the development of lung cancer, and enables readers to
correctly interpret and rationally use the results of
epidemiological studies in lawsuits. The book argues that in
today's risk society, it is no longer possible to thwart the
competence of evidence using epidemiological research results. In
particular, it points out that the number of cases that struggle to
prove a causal relationship excluding those using epidemiological
data will lead to an increase in the number of lawsuits for damages
that arise as a result of harmful materials that affect our health.
The book argues that the responsibility to compensate for damages
that have actually occurred must be imputed to a particular party
and that this can be achieved by understanding causal inferences
between jurisprudence and epidemiology. This book serves as a
foundation for students, academics and researchers who have an
interest in epidemiology and the law, and those who are keen to
discover how jurisprudence can bring these two areas together.
