Recenzje

"This book, Animal abuse and interpersonal violence: A psycho-criminological understanding, makes a significant contributio to the literature evolving around the link between animal cruelty and human violence. Its holistic psychosocial approach to interpersonal and interspecies violence broadens our understanding. It will further motivate legislators, academicians, clinicians, and the public to recognize that animal abuse can no longer be marginalized, but rather is part of the continuum of, and a risk factor for, family and community violence."Phil Arko, Coordinator, The National Link Coalition"This book, Animal abuse and interpersonal violene: A psycho-criminological understanding, contributes to addressing this need in notable ways. It brings together theoretical and empirical chapters, which are focused on different national contexts and written by authors from diverse academic and practitioner backgrounds. Importantly, the chapters contained herein address many of the pressing questions in the field, including: Is the relationship between animal abuse and interpersonal violence specific to companion animals? Or does a relationship exist between interpersonal violence and the perpetration of harm against animals kept for other human purposes and/or wild animals? This volume will be a welcome resource for those who have been contemplating these questions."Amy J. Fitzgerald, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Sociology and Criminology, and the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, University of Windsor, Canada
