Disease and crime are increasingly conflated in the contemporary world. News reports proclaim "epidemics" of crime, politicians denounce terrorism as a lethal pathological threat, and "epidemiological criminology" merges public health with criminal justice to provide analytical tools for criminal justice practitioners and health care professionals.
