The impacts of crime on health and health services
Crime poses substantial risks to the health of victims and, consequently, generates additional demand for health services. This literature review examines the current state of knowledge and understanding of the impacts of crime on physical and psychological health; responses to the needs of victims by health workers and other professionals; and resulting costs to health services. The review concludes by identifying issues for research, policy and…
Violence as a public health issue
English In recent years, there have been calls in the US and in Britain for a public health approach to violence and violent crime. This article considers the implications of such an approach for the definition and understanding of the ‘problem’ of violence and appropriate ways of tackling it. The discussion challenges the assumptions implicit in some of the literature that this is an intrinsically progressive and unproblematic perspective. This …

However, the spirit of the SDA, as of recent European Com…

This paper is an attempt to do something a bit unusual. What we are trying to do is to describe and assess the process of conceptualising and…

Nevertheless the Black Report still identified housing as one of the major causes of ill-health and suggested, on one indicator at least, that council housing is the least healthy form of tenure. An exploratory study concerning housing and health in a north eastern local authority area is described. It was found that smoking, work e…
