Developments:
South Africa's Mail & Guardian newspaper has published my latest HIV/AIDS article in its World AIDS Day special supplement today.
The article argues that the "broken windows" approach to crime prevention can also be applied to the fight against HIV/AIDS. Small steps towards creating a culture of responsibility, such as clamping down on speeding, drink-driving, littering etc, can help promote the behaviour change needed to slow HIV transmission. As Malcolm Gladwell argued in The Tipping Point, an epidemic - be it of crime or disease - can be reversed “by tinkering with the smallest details of the immediate environment”.
