Description
The landscapes of violence have become too familiar, too close to home.
Despite decades of scientific research, we are only beginning to understand the roots of violence that connect child maltreatment, spouse and partner abuse, and aggression in our neighborhoods and communities.
Cruelty to animals is often part of these landscapes of violence – at times, a strong link to destructive interpersonal relationships.
Research on this link has recently received increased attention.
However, the layperson, student, and professional interested in this link often face the daunting task of locating the critical references in this area of inquiry.
Cruelty to Animals and Interpersonal Violence presents in one volume historical, philosophical, and research sources that explore the maltreatment of animals and the ways people hurt each other.
Diverse disciplines are represented among the readings, including psychology and psychiatry, criminology, social work, veterinary science, and anthropology.
A bibliography of related books and articles is provided for readers who wish to pursue this topic in greater detail.
