Parmet (law, Northeastern U.) examines the importance of the law in regards to public health issues such as smoking, childhood obesity, bioterrorism and pandemic influenza and notes that population-based legal analysis can provide both swift decision making and preservation of individual rights and liberties. Written primarily for public health practitioners and policymakers, this book uses case studies to investigate the relationships between such public health issues as due process and the right to die and the First Amendment and the obesity epidemic. The author presents her recommendations for a population-based health law, and explains how these types of legal analyses can be expanded toward global applications.
