Explore how the law shapes and influences public health In the
newly revised second edition of Legal Epidemiology: Theory and
Methods, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a thorough
primer on the problems that arise in legal epidemiology—and
potential solutions to those problems. Following an introduction to
the basic concepts of the field in Part One, the book offers a rich
collection of theories that researchers have used to study how law
influences behavior in Part Two. The book also covers the special
questions of measurement that arise when law is the independent
variable and the various study designs for legal epidemiology.
Drawing on the full range of social, psychological, sociological,
and sociolegal disciplines to better understand, measure, and
predict how much laws will influence health-relevant behaviors and
environments, the editors have also included works that: Discuss
the frameworks for legal epidemiology, including explorations of
law in public health systems and services Examine how law
influences behavior, including discussions of criminological
theories, procedural justice theory, and economic theory Explore
the design of legal epidemiology evaluations, including natural
experiments, randomized trials, and qualitative research An
essential and engaging resource for experienced social science
researchers, health scientists, legal scholars, and policy
analysts, Legal Epidemiology: Theory and Methods will also benefit
students, novice scientists, and non-scientists seeking a general
orientation to the subject.
