The second edition of Public Health Law offers an up-to-date compendium of cases, materials and notes illustrating the field's expanded scope and importance today. All-new materials include:

  • Theories of risk perception
  • Federal regulation of public health
  • Chronic disease prevention
  • Global health programs

Chapters 1 and 2 survey the public health field and ways to identify health and safety risks. Chapters 3 and 4 examine relevant constitutional issues. The remaining chapters focus on specific health risks and can be taught as problem-based case studies to allow students to evaluate different solutions, as in the real world.
