Animals in Criminology

Where Criminology?

• Critical Criminology
  
• Green Criminology
  
• Rural Criminology
• Victimology
  
• Animal Law
• Corrections
• Theory
• Linking Animal and Human Abuse
• Predictor among juveniles?
• Family Violence
• Animals are passive, insentient, acted upon by humans. Property.
• The Future?
• Bierne (2002) - No building blocks, so change will be slow, if ever.
• This site/course/presentation is intended to be a building block.
• Growing number of presentations is positive, will need to keep going.
• Bierne (2002) - Discussed "animal abuse" vs. "crimes against animals," arguing that "Criminology has no legitimate warrant arbitrarily torestrict its inquiries into animal abuse to a notion of harm defined as such either by state authorities or by fickle public opinion."
