4.9/5 (29516 ratings)

Description:This Special Issue of Behavioral Sciences & the Law includes eight articles that discuss changing perceptions of animals, enhanced understanding of the parameters of animal cruelty, legal developments, the association between mental health and animal cruelty, and the relationship of animal cruelty to violence. The opening article by Weiss, Fromm, and Glazer tracks changes in the laws regarding animals from ancient times to the present. Holoyda discusses the evolution of laws protecting animals over time. Two articles in this Special Issue focus on comprehensive reviews of specific types of animal maltreatment: bestiality and animal hoarding. Holoyda, Sorrentino, Hatters‐Friedman, and Allgire provide a synopsis of the existing research on bestiality. Lockwood covers multiple aspects of animal hoarding.The article by Ascione, McDonald, Tedeschi, and Williams nicely complements the mental health discussions by Lockwood and Holoyda et al. by examining the relationships among animal abuse, psychological disorders, and crime. This article is also a good transition to two others that focus on violent crime. Hensley and Ketron investigated the predictive ability of 10 retrospectively identified childhood animal cruelty methods (i.e., drowning, hitting/beating, hitting with rocks, shooting, kicking, choking, burning, stabbing, having sex, and starving/neglecting) with respect to later violent crimes toward humans. The article by Arluke, Lankford, and Madfis narrows the focus on the relationship between animal abuse and violent offending in general to a specific type of violent offender: public mass shooters and active shooters. Felthous and Calhoun reviewed literature on females who maltreat animals.The final article in this Special Issue, by Levitt, is a fitting conclusion as she makes compelling arguments on ethical and practical grounds that behavioral science professionals need to focus more on animal maltreatment than is currently the case. Collectively these eight articles underscore the worthiness of investigating multiple aspects of animal maltreatment.As the study of animal maltreatment is maturing, becoming increasingly methodologically sophisticated, and generating new information, it is especially topical for this Special Issue of Behavioral Sciences & the Law. Each of the articles presented in this issue presents a fresh look and/or new findings, contributing to our developing scientific knowledge and at the same time suggesting avenues and methods for further investigation.IntroductionAnimal maltreatment from ancient times to the 21st century: Foundation for a call to action nowKathleen M.
