Publisher Description

Abstract A link between childhood animal cruelty and adult criminal behavior is topic of debate among criminologists, psychologists, and the like. Although animal cruelty is exhibited in 25% of children diagnosed with conduct disorder (Arluke, Levin, Luke, & Ascione, 1999), many clinicians, researchers, and family professionals have ignored this issue of violence (Flynn, 2000). This article explains why animal abuse is an important behavior to pay attention to and reviews research regarding its prevalence, etiology, assessment, and treatment. The literature suggests that animal cruelty is not uncommon among children and may be associated with certain family and child factors, as well as adult criminal behavior.
