Mahatma Gandhi said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral
progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Since
civil societies are ruled by law, they can be evaluated, both
figuratively and literally, by how animals are treated in the
criminal justice system. This book depicts animals' roles within
society and the laws that govern how humans treat them. Carmen M.
Cusack focuses on current issues in human-animal relationships and
how these are affected by the criminal justice system. Her
analysis, while objective, is rooted in first-hand activist,
professional, legal, and criminal justice experience. She presents
a comprehensive overview of the place of animals and the law,
including pets in prison, K-9 units, constitutional rights, animal
sacrifice, wild animals, entertainment, domestic violence,
rehabilitation, history, and religion. She includes information
about law, behavioural and social science, systemic responses and
procedure, anecdotal evidence, current events, and theoretical
considerations. Animals and Criminal Justice is a useful handbook
and a thorough textbook, as well as a practical guide to animals'
relationships with the criminal justice system. Professionals,
including police, child protective services, judges, animal control
officers, and corrections staff, as well as scholars in the fields
of criminal justice and criminology will find this book invaluable.
