"In 1905, Freud suggested that clinicians pay special attention to
children who are cruel to animals. Today there is growing evidence
that childhood cruelty toward animals is often a precursor to
cruelty to humans. This book presents, for the first time in one
place, all the significant literature on the relationship between
animal abuse and violence in our society. This book is a must for
anyone concerned with the implications and policies associated with
child abuse. For the scholar, the book will save days of library
research, and for all others, will give new understanding of
society's most pressing issue - violence in our lives."
