平衡个人权利和保护公共健康的需要将随之而来的是对个人自由的限制。在采取这些措施时，应始终考虑三点：(1)缺乏证据表明拘留有益于公众健康；(2)基本人权可能被不必要地凌驾；(3)强制性做法可能充当烟幕，以改进但更复杂或更昂贵的公共卫生对策，以应对结核病控制失败的原因。介绍了纽约市和英格兰的政策，并提出了两者都不公正的论点。
The need to balance the rights of individuals and to protect the public health will bring with it demands for the restriction of individuals' liberty. Three points should always be considered when these measures are adopted: (1) the lack of evidence that detention benefits the public health; (2) the risk that fundamental human rights may be overridden unnecessarily; and (3) that coercive practices may act as a smokescreen for improved, but more complex or more costly, public health responses to the causes of TB control failures. The policies of New York City and England are presented, and the argument is made that neither is just.
