Public Health, Research, and
Law Enforcement:
The Case of HIV/AIDS Prevention
CIRA Law, Policy and Ethics Mini-Conference
On November 5, 2003, the Center for Interdisciplinary
Research on AIDS (CIRA) at Yale University convened a one-day conference
to bring together public health researchers, criminal justice experts, and
police professionals. The purpose of the meeting was to strategize about
ways to increase the amount and effectiveness of research and interventions
aimed at understanding (and possibly modifying) how police and other law
enforcers behave towards legally marginalized populations. In particular,
the event focused on HIV related health and behaviors, and on groups particularly
vulnerable to HIV (especially IDUs and sex workers).
This conference was co-sponsored
by the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA), the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation, and CIRA's Law, Policy and Ethics Core
