Court officials who understand the Link between crimes against animals and crimes against people are in a better position to prevent future violence and protect their community. This webinar will assist law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, animal care & control officers, and other criminal justice system personnel in a greater understanding that family violence doesn’t stop at the human species line. We can prevent family violence collaboratively and more effectively by recognizing animal abuse as a potential indicator and predictor crime. Holding animal abusers accountable prevents other crimes and changes community attitudes toward violence and safety. We will show how measures to prevent, prosecute and punish animal cruelty benefit not only Man’s Best Friend… but also Man (and especially Woman)!
