Criminalized Lives: HIV and Legal Violence: Q+ Public

Autor Alexander McClelland Ilustrat de Eric Kostiuk Williams Cuvânt înainte de Robert Suttle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iun 2024 – vârsta ani
Canada has been known as a hot spot for HIV criminalization where the act of not disclosing one’s HIV-positive status to sex partners has historically been regarded as a serious criminal offence. Criminalized Lives describes how this approach has disproportionately harmed the poor, Black and Indigenous people, gay men, and women in Canada. In this book, people who have been criminally accused of not disclosing their HIV-positive status, detail the many complexities of disclosure, and the violence that results from being criminalized. 
 
Accompanied by portraits from artist Eric Kostiuk Williams, the profiles examine whether the criminal legal system is really prepared to handle the nuances and ethical dilemmas faced everyday by people living with HIV. By offering personal stories of people who have faced criminalization first-hand, Alexander McClelland questions common assumptions about HIV, the role of punishment, and the violence that results from the criminal legal system’s legacy of categorizing people as either victims or perpetrators.

Recenzii

"Criminalized Lives is not merely a searing condemnation of how HIV laws ruin lives and remove people living with HIV from the 'public' in 'public health'; the book asks deep and urgent questions about how journalists, criminologists and scholars are complicit in making vulnerable people’s lives become mediated by violence."
"Criminalized Lives is a clearly written account of the impacts of HIV criminalization in Canada, the reasons it should end, and the work happening to end it. The book exposes how public health frameworks are used to implement state violence on targeted populations and makes a convincing case against limited reforms that carve out some populations for reduced criminalization while leaving others in the crosshairs of police and courts. It is a wonderful contribution to conversations about criminalization, health, HIV, racial and gender justice."

Descriere

Criminalized Lives profiles people charged in Canada with the crime of not disclosing their HIV-positive status to sex partners. Examining how criminalization disproportionately punishes poor, Black and Indigenous people, gay men, and women in Canada, Alexander McClelland investigates the consequences of criminalizing illness, which results in people being subjected to state violence rather than treated with care.
