Septiembre 9/2014 «El FBI clasifica el maltrato a animales como “crimen contra la sociedad”
El FBI iniciará el seguimiento de patrones de maltrato a animales en cuatro categorías diferentes:
- Abuso Organizado (peleas de perros y riñas de gallos)
- Negligencia (simple y grave)
- abuso intencional y tortura
- Abuso sexual de animales
Los cambios se aplicarán en 2015
FBI adds animal cruelty as 'crime against society' in uniform crime report
LSU Criminologist Ed Shihadeh said research proves many violent criminals or serial killers do have a history of animal abuse.
"The research shows there is a relationship between animal abuse and people abuse. That's why the FBI is now wanting metrics on animal abuse as an early indicator for criminal or anti-social behaviors among people, and I think it's a good move," said Shihadeh.
The FBI will start tracking animal abuse patterns in four different categories.
Simple/gross neglect
Intentional abuse and torture
Organized abuse (dog fighting or cock fighting)
Animal sexual abuse
The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced this week that it will start reporting crimes of animal cruelty as a separate offense under its uniform reporting system, leading the way for more comprehensive statistics on animal abuse.
Previously, crimes against animals were recorded under a generic “all other offense” category in the Uniform Crime Report, widely considered the most comprehensive source of crime statistics in the United States. Starting next year, animal cruelty would be reported as a distinct category, along with major offenses like murder, assault and arson crimes.
The FBI will implement the changes in 2015 and begin accepting data in January of 2016, Fischer said.
