Public Health Law: Power, Duty, Restraint

Lawrence O. Gostinâ€™s seminalÂ Public Health LawÂ is widely acclaimed as the definitive statement on public health law at the turn of the twenty-first century. In this bold third edition, Gostin is joined by Lindsay F. Wiley to analyze major health threats of our time such as chronic diseases, emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, bioterrorism, natural disasters, opiod overdose, and gun violence. Â The authors draw on constitutional law, administrative law, local government law, and tort law to develop their conception of law as a tool for protecting the publicâ€™s health.Â
Â
The book creates an intellectual framework for modern public health law and supports that framework with illustrations of the scientific, political, and ethical issues involved. In proposing innovative solutions for the future of the publicâ€™s health, Gostin and Wileyâ€™s essential study provides a blueprint for public and political debates to come.
