Degue, Sarah. “Is Animal Cruelty a ‘Red Flag’ for
Family Violence?” Sage Journals 24.6
(2009): 1036-1056. Web. 27 March 2015.
Summary:
In Sarah Degue’s article “Is Animal Cruelty a ‘Red Flag’ for Family Violence?”
she takes on the topic in a legal way. She looks at how finding animals that
are abused can lead to the discovery of domestically violent people. She also
focuses on the links between child abuse and animal abuse through a study with
college students who experienced abuse as children.
Evaluation:
Sarah Degue comes from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and contributor
David DiLillo comes from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Degue has a Ph.
D. and is a behavioral scientist at the Division of Violence Prevention at the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Reflection:
This article provides a third viewpoint for my paper. Degue has a legal
viewpoint which I can compare to the animal rights and sociological views of
other articles. I like how instead of just relating animal abuse and domestic
violence, she says that seeing an abused animal can find someone who is abusing
people.
"Domestic
Violence and Animal Cruelty." ASPCA. N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Mar. 2015.
Summary: In the ASPCA’s article “Domestic Violence
and Animal Cruelty,” they provide several statistics relating the two topics in
the article’s title. It tells readers why abusers abuse and what people can do
about it.
Evaluation: Although it is not a long article and
doesn’t have specific authors, it does come from a credible source. The ASPCA (American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is a non-profit organization
and are just providing the facts. The ASPCA is well known in the field of
animal rights and gives helpful information about animal abuse.
Reflection: This article has basic information, but it is crucial for my paper. It addresses how issues brought up in other articles can be solved. Plus it’s a source most people have heard of, so readers will know it’s credible.
Faver,
Catherine A. “Domestic Violence and Animal Cruelty: Untangling the Web of
Abuse.” Journal of Social Work Education
39.2 (2003): 237-253. Web. 22 March 2015.
Summary: In Catherine Faver’s article “Domestic
Violence and Animal Cruelty: Untangling the Web of Abuse,” she writes about how
domestic violence and animal cruelty are related. She views the subject from a
sociological point of view. She discusses that people who are domestically
violent are more likely to abuse their household pets. They do this to show
power and to intimidate those that they are trying to control.
Evaluation: The Journal of Social Work Education is
professional piece of work. Catherine Faver sounds very knowledgeable in her
writing and everything in her article fits and makes sense. She is a professor
at University of Texas-Pan American in Sociology so she has adequate education
in the subject area.
Reflection: After
reading this article, I not only had a bunch of information for my paper, but I
also learned several things I didn’t know. This will probably be my most useful
source because it has so much relevant information. It will be interesting to
see how her sociological view of animal abuse and domestic violence compares
with an animal activist’s view.
Flynn, Clifton P. “Examining the links between animal abuse and human violence.” Crime, Law and Social Change 55.5 (2011): 453-468. Web. 27 March 2015.
Summary: This article is interesting because it discusses the progression of how a person goes from being an animal abuser to a human abuser. Some people are against the idea that abuse is growing habit and this article looks at both sides of the argument.
Evaluation: Dr. Clifton P. Flynn is a professor of sociology at the University of South Carolina Upstate. Being a professor in the subject of sociology plays to Flynn’s advantage that he knows what he is talking about.
Reflection: I really like how this article compares two sides of an argument about the progression of abuse. I’d like to see how this will work with my other articles and see what ideas are more supported than others.
Pagani, Camilla. “Investigating Animal Abuse: Some Theoretical and Methodological Issues.” Anthrazoos 23.3 (2010): 259-276. Web. 20 March 2015.
Summary: In Camilla
Pagani’s article “Investigating Animal Abuse: Some Theoretical and
Methodological Issues,” she and her peers give a universal definition for
animal abuse and suggest the idea that peoples’ culture affects the way they
treat animals. They also discuss the methods in which animal abuse is
investigated.
Evaluation: Camilla
Pagani is from the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies in Rome,
Italy where she is on the National Research Council. Contributor Frank Ascione
is from the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. This
article is peer reviewed and seems to be a great source of information.
Reflection: This
article will be useful in my paper because it gives an actual definition of
what animal abuse is. I like how this article looks at the sociological side
and the animal lover side of animal abuse and how it is related to domestic
violence.
