520 $aPapua New Guinea has a complex ?law and order? problem and an entrenched epidemic of HIV. This book explores their interaction. It also probes their joint challenges and opportunities?most fundamentally for civic security, a condition that could offersome immunity to both. This book is a valuable and timely contribution to a limited but growing body of scholarship in the social and structural contexts of HIV epidemiology in Papua New Guinea. The volume offers a unique collection of interdisciplinary insights on the connections between law and order and the HIV epidemic and is presented in a manner accessible to a wide audience, scholars and lay people alike? Significantly, this is the first volume to critically examine the complex and inexorable links between HIV, gender, violence, and security within a theoretical framework thv at illuminates the challenges of the epidemic for PNG?s future cohesion and stability as a young nation?The importance of this courageous book cannot be overstated. While it communicates an urgent and potent message about the need for immediate action ? it offers insightful reflections on the processes and possibilities of social transformation that undoubtedly will have enduring scholarly and practical value.
