Should Public Health Professionals Consider Pornography a Public Health Crisis?

摘要

Social scientists commonly define pornography as sexually explicit materials intended to arouse. According to the Oxford Handbook of Public Health Practice (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 2013), a public health crisis has three main qualities: (1) it is an acute event that requires an immediate response; (2) the event is expected to imminently lead to death, infectious disease morbidity, property destruction, or population displacement; and (3) it overwhelms the capacity of local systems to do the job of maintaining a community’s health.
