FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The discipline of epidemiology provides a methodology for perceiving the world and relating to the communities whose health and disease patterns need to be understood. Forensic epidemiology extends our understanding to communitys injuries and those alleged to be responsible. This much needed resource focuses on the use of the epidemiology in the legal context, using case studies to illustrate the issues raised. This work includes discussion of: epidemiology in the courtroom; epidemiology, legislation and rulemaking; law, epidemiology and community organization and advocacy; and epidemiology, law and social context.

In turn, a more complete understanding of the populations, diseases and the systems that underlie and shape the research is reached. This book should be of value to the student studying in public health, environmental health and medical programs, law students as well as professional researchers.
