<p>“Violence, of course, is not only found on the streets, in pubs and taverns, or in domestic/household settings. It is frequently directed at different types of nonhuman animals (NHAs). However, critical criminologists have not been fleet at foot in addressing this major world-wide problem. Thus, this ground-breaking anthology helps fill a major research gap. It is destined to become a classic that should be mandatory reading for all progressive criminologists concerned about the protection and preservation of NHAs.” - <i>Dr. Walter S. DeKeseredy, Anna Deane Carlson Endowed Chair of Social Sciences, Director of the Research Center on Violence and Professor of Sociology at West Virginia University</i></p><p>"The volume strikes the right balance between theoretical and applied content and showcases the impressive expertise of scholars across multiple disciplines and countries. This volume will be of interest to many, including (critical) animal studies scholars, ecofeminists, and political economists (to name but a few), and more generally, anyone interested in developing a future where human actions no longer threaten the species and environments around us." - <i>Professor Amy Fitzgerald, University of Windsor</i></p>
