We examine the public policies that have been formulated to reduce the incidence of dog bites. We do so to encourage the adoption of policies aligned with One Health promotion.
This case-study research involved an ethnographic approach. Our qualitative analysis derived from participant observation, policy documents, media coverage, and interviews with stakeholders in Montreal (Quebec).
Following on from a human fatality due to dog bite injuries, the City of Montreal decided to ban certain types of dogs based on their 'breed.' In the ensuing discussions, the 'Calgary model' emerged as an alternative to breed-specific legislation. These discussions led to a change in policy direction for Montreal, and for Quebec as a whole. Furthermore, we discerned marked improvements with respect to intersectoral coordination in the wake of this controversy.
'Policy mobilities' offer a useful conceptual apparatus for understanding how public policies for dog bite prevention are polarized around controversial proposals, to the detriment of discussions that focus on policy implementation.
我们研究了旨在降低狗咬发生率的公共政策。这样做是为了鼓励采取与促进“同一健康”相一致的政策。
本案例研究采用了民族志方法。我们的定性分析源于参与者观察、政策文件、媒体报道以及对蒙特利尔(魁北克)利益相关者的访谈。
在一人因被狗咬伤而死亡后,蒙特利尔市决定根据犬种“禁养”某些类型的狗。在随后的讨论中,“卡尔加里模式”作为犬种立法的替代方案出现了。这些讨论导致了蒙特利尔和整个魁北克的政策方向发生了变化。此外,我们发现,这场争议之后,部门间协调有了显著改善。
“政策流动”为理解犬咬伤预防公共政策如何围绕有争议的提案两极分化提供了有用的概念工具,不利于讨论政策的实施。
