ZLOSTAVLJANJE ŽIVOTINJA – KAZNENO DJELO I KRIMINOLOŠKO PSIHOLOŠKI FENOMEN / ABUSE OF ANIMALS - CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND CRIMINOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON
Journal Title: Društvena i tehnička istraživanja - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper deals with the phenomenon of "animal abuse" that has been more and more present in recent years, although most of the criminal legislation of developed democratic states has introduced animal abuse as a criminal offense and animals (although still as objects in the legal order) are protected more than ever in history. Some, like Switzerland, have gone a step further and protecting animals as sensual beings proclaimed by their constitution. However, animal abuse is very common, especially with pets, which opens up many interdisciplinary issues. The main part of the work will focus on abuse as a criminal offense and on the criminal and psychological phenomenon of abuse, which is very important in order to offer certain precautionary measures. The authors will present some statistical reports in the paper to justify some of the views expressed. The dark figure of this seemingly "irrelevant" criminal offense is high and perpetrators mostly go unpunished. From a criminal aspect, the connection of violence against animals with the potential of violence against people is very important. It is, therefore, the need for education on this phenomenon from the earliest age.
