Evidence is mounting that animal abuse, frequently embedded in
families scarred by domestic violence and child abuse and neglect,
often predicts the potential for other violent acts. As early
intervention is critical in the prevention and reduction of
aggression, this boo encourages researchers and professionals to
recognize animal abuse as significant problem and a human
public-health issue that should be included as a curriculum topic
in training. The book is an interdisciplinary sourcebook of
original essays that examines the relations between animal
maltreatment and human interpersonal violence, expands the scope of
research in this growing area, and provides practical assessment
and documentation strategies to help professionals confronting
violence do their jobs better by attending to these connections.
This book brings together, for the first time, all of the leaders
in this emerging field. They examine contemporary research and
programmatic issues, encourage cross-disciplinary interactions, and
describe innovative programs in the field today. The book also
includes vivid first-person accounts from "survivors" whose
experiences included animal maltreatment among other forms of
family violence.
