Society is looking for new tools and resources to employ in the efforts to combat violence, identify real or potential perpetrators at an early stage, and define actions that might predict or prevent violent behavior. Closer examination of cruelty to animals within the framework of family and societal violence offers an opportunity to explore violence outside of the traditional nature–nurture debate over the origins of aggression. Cruelty to animals represents an objectively definable behavior that occurs within a societal context. It also represents a good measure of the interaction between the behavior of which an individual is intrinsically capable and the behavior his or her environment has allowed or encouraged. The fact that the definition of cruelty to animals is so strongly influenced by cultures and subcultures need not be a complication but rather an opportunity to unravel the many influences that can shape violent behavior. Closer analysis of the connections between cruelty to animals and other forms of violence offers new opportunities for the study of violence and the hope for new insights and solutions.

Long experience with unsuccessful attempts by British animal welfare groups to promote private members' bills for reform or rep I a cement of the 1876 Cruelty to Animals Act (Viet. C. 77, 1876) has convinced reformists that achieving this kind of change by lobbying Parliament may be impossible. It was for this reason that a small reformist group- spearheaded by the ex-chairman of the Labour Party, Lord Houghton, and an eminent surgeon, the late Lord Platt- was formed and drafted reform proposals in a document widely known as the Houghton/Piatt Memorandum (paper submitted to the Home Secretary, 1976). This report called for a substantial tightening up of controls already established under the 1876 Act. All of these modifications, the report noted, could have been effected by administrative action alone.

Founded in 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was the nation's first animal welfare organization. The society had its origins in the fervor for social reform that characterized the era following the Civil War. Its founder, Henry Bergh, organized the ASPCA because of his abhorrence of injustice - personally, he was never especially interested in animals. The society's agents-known in the early years as Bergh's men-were empowered to enforce the law throughout the state. Bergh used the media to advance his cause, and many of the issues that he confronted were cov
The study aimed to determine the characteristics of criminal liability for cruelty to animals. The object of the study is social relations arising in the field of morality protection. We used the following general scientific methods: dialectical, historical, descriptive, methods of scientific analysis and generalization. In addition to general scientific methods, we also used special methods: comparative legal and statistical. Having performed a retrospective analysis of criminal liability for cruelty to animals, we identified four historical stages in the formation and development of criminal legal standards for cruelty to animals. Having investigated the reasons for the social conditioning of criminalization for cruelty to animals, the authors identified a range of problems in the field of humane treatment of animals that require immediate solutions: the use of animals in scientific experiments, the manufacture of clothing from leather and animal fur, the activities of dog hunters and the use of animals in circuses. Factors affecting the cruelty of a person have been also identified. The delimitation of corpus delicti from an administrative offense is carried out according to several main criteria: the degree of public danger and consequences. International experience in the context of criminal liability for cruelty to animals is diverse.

The article is devoted to the issue of police responses to animal cruelty cases that contain signs of an administrative offense: the experience of Ukraine. In the article the author developed a step-by-step response for police officers in case of offenses under Article 89 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. The powers of the National Police of Ukraine in this category of cases were also analyzed step by step. The administrative and jurisdictional powers of police officers during proceedings on the fact of animal cruelty are considered. The author details the application of measures to ensure the proceedings in these categories of cases. The article pays special attention to the fact that the police officer decides on the whereabouts of the animal at the time of the proceedings, for example, in the case of leaving the animal in a temporary home. The author also gives practical examples of the interaction between animal protection organizations and the police during the seizure of the animal before considering the case on its merits. The telephone number of the all-Ukrainian hotline for assistance to animals is given, namely 0-800-302-303. An analysis is given of the legal status of the animal in accordance with current Ukrainian legislation. The article separately analyzes the stages of proceedings on animal cruelty. The powers of the National Police and the court to consider this category of cases have been clarified, and their limitations have been clarified.
