Abstract

The policing of health or hygiene can be codified in policy, law, city codes, or ordinance
it can be carried out by police officers, licensing agencies, judges, and even everyday citizens (through complaints)
and it can be positioned as if it were targeting a group (e.g. prostitutes), a disease, or a ‘contagious environment.’ Public Health is a mobile and elastic power that weaves in and out of different vernaculars and institutions, capable of reshaping or reinforcing existing racial, sexual, domestic, and moral paradigms.
