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. 517 3 $aReconsidering Law & Policy Debates 606 $aPublic health laws$zUnited States 606 $aMedical policy$zUnited States 606 $aCivil rights$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xSocial policy 615 0$aPublic health laws 615 0$aMedical policy 615 0$aCivil rights 676 $a344.7304 702 $aCulhane$b John G. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458920503321 996 $aReconsidering law and policy debates$92455621 997 $aUNINA
