"This book describes scientific theory and methods for investigating the development, implementation, and effects of public health law. The empirical study of law is an exercise applying normal scientific methods. There is no special science of public health law research.

That said, there are unique challenges to studying law, and a set of theory, measurement, and research design tools that specifically help to meet those challenges. This book is not a general primer on scientific research methods. Its focus is on the problems that arise in legal epidemiology - and their solutions. And so it is intended for many kinds of readers: experienced social science researchers who are interested in adding public health law research to their repertoire; experienced health scientists who wish to expand their research from interventions at the individual or small-group levels to community or society-wide "treatments" operating through law; legal scholars interested in how social scientists approach the study of law; policy analysts seeking to enhance their toolkit to include empirical evaluations of public health laws and policies; students and novice scientists who can hone their general skills through the study of public health law; and non-scientists who are seeking a general orientation to legal epidemiology"--
