Description
Narong Kiettikunwong and Pongmanut Deeod compare laws on violence in health care in a 2026 study. Attacks on health workers threaten both staff safety and the trust that care rests on. Many legal systems still use general crime laws that ignore the special risks of clinics and hospitals.
The authors review seven places, among them Canada, India, England, Thailand, and China, and judge each system by its effects and by fairness. Places with laws written for health care tied penalties to deterrence and duty more clearly. Places using only general crime law gave weaker cover. The authors propose a shared legal frame built on clear scope, fair penalty levels, and a balanced reason for punishment.
