Week 11: 335D ASSIGNMENT: Discuss three things you learned about juvenile animal cruelty (150 words minimum) and three things you learned about juvenile arson (150 words minimum). Juvenile Animal Cruelty: 1. Although there is no definite scale to determine what causes animal cruelty or how to rate it, csaes and studies show that children who are victims of abuse are more likely to be abusers of animals. This is common because they are trying to now be the ones in charge of a helpless animal which would ultimatly give them the desire to cause pain on someting or someone else just as they have endured themselves (Factors in the Assessment of Dangerousness in Perpetrators of Animal Cruelty) 2. A major red flag when it comes to stopping abuse before it begins is to be aware of the language of an abuser commonly can substitute a human for an animal victim. An example given was “that pussy had to die” which is a serious warning of violence (Factors in the Assessment of Dangerousness in Perpetrators of Animal Cruelty) 3. The act of commiting animal cruelty accompanied by satanic or ritualistic is a common seen warning of an escalation of abuse for aniamls and possibly later on humans. This consisits of trying to seek control and power through magical and spiritual thought processes (Factors in the Assessment of Dangerousness in Perpetrators of Animal Cruelty) Juvenile Arson: 1. Juvenile arson most commonly occurs in the bedroom and starts with lighters more times than less. This often begins by the mattress and bedding becoming the first thing to light and spark up the home in a large fire. The next most common leading cause begins with magazines, books and then after garbage and finally clothing (Campell). 2. Because of how often this has began to occur, it is important to understand that there are now many services and implications in place for juvenile firesetting situations. These new intervention and treatment plans are put in place, however, they lack any program assessments to see if this program is effective or even worth the money put into the program (Putnam). 3. It is most common for household fires created by juveniles to happen mostly in July for the sole reason of it being the peak season for fireworks. This can include children playing with fireworks and sparklers around the time of the holiday and July fourth (Campbell).
