Following an introduction to the basic concepts of the field in Part One, the book offers a rich collection of theories that researchers have used to study how law influences behavior in Part Two. The book also covers the special questions of measurement that arise when law is the independent variable and the various study designs for legal epidemiology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the full range of social, psychological, sociological, and sociolegal disciplines to better understand, measure, and predict how much laws will influence health-relevant behaviors and environments, the editors have also included works that: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscuss the frameworks for legal epidemiology, including explorations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As someone previously unaware that there was a field of legal epidemiology, I was intrigued.
