Silent Victims offers students, professionals, and laypersons an overview of the most critical scientific and anecdotal findings about the factors surrounding animal abuse. Presented in a user-friendly style, the book examines the antecedents and consequences of animal cruelty. The research findings presented include notable studies on the factors associated with animal abuse, including the perpetrators, abusive environments, and other factors thought to be linked to animal cruelty. The book also offers readers an insider's look at animal cruelty; real life tales weave theories and research findings with applied fieldwork, and examine commonly used strategies and techniques for recognizing and addressing animal abuse cases.

Pamela Carlisle-Frank is the President and primary researcher at The Foundation for Interdisciplinary Research and Education Promoting Animal Welfare [FIREPAW, Inc.].

Co-Author Tom Flanagan, a retired Boston law enforcement officer, is the founder and Vice President of the Link-UP Program, an educational network linking law enforcement, animal control, social services, and other municipal agencies to stop animal abuse.
