505 0 |a "From the very beginning of the epidemic, AIDS was linked to punishment. Calls to punish people living with HIV -- mostly stigmatized minorities -- began before doctors had even settled on a name for the disease. Punitive attitudes toward AIDS prompted lawmakers around the country to introduce legislation aimed at criminalizing the behaviors of people living with HIV. Punishing Disease explains how this happened -- and its consequences. With the door to criminalizing sickness now open, what other ailments will follow? As lawmakers move to tack on additional diseases such as hepatitis and meningitis to existing law, the question is more than academic" -- Provided by publisher. 
520 8 |a At the heart of 'Punishing Disease' is a central question: Why punishment? Although public health and medical institutions are designed to manage epidemics and viruses, punishment as an institution is built to manage crime. The tools designed for one job - pills versus handcuffs, hospitals versus prisons - are not effective for the other. The tool for punishing deviance is a hammer ill-suited for managing disease.
