title = "The relations among animal abuse, psychological disorders, and crime: Implications for forensic assessment",
abstract = "The confluence of developments in the assessment of animal abuse, the evolution of psychiatric nosology for the diagnosis of conduct disorder, legislative changes involving crimes against non-human animals, and the recent inclusion of crimes against animals in the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System, highlights the critical need for examining the forensic dimensions of animal abuse cases. We provide an overview of the research literature on these topics in the hope that forensic evaluators will have an evidence-based framework for assessing cases they encounter that include perpetration of violence against animals.",

note = "Funding Information: found that 67% of children whose mothers were IPV survivors reported that they had seen or heard pet animal abuse. In 2010, three of us (Ascione, Williams, and McDonald) began a four‐year project, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (Grant 5R01HD66503–4) and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to examine the correlates of children's exposure to both IPV and AA. The details of the design of this study and characteristics of the sample can be found in the work of McDonald et al. (2015). Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.",
