Objectives and competences
Social awareness of animal abuse is on the rise, which has led to widespread opposition to it and condemnation of it. In the past few years, legislative changes have been introduced
that allow the penalization of behaviours that are now recognized as atypical.
This type of violence is a complex phenomenon that requires investigation focused on the characteristics of the aggressors and the circumstances
of the abuse.
For this reason, this course aims to go beyond strictly legal and criminal aspects by exploring the different disciplines involved in the conceptualization of
violence against animals
that allow the penalization of behaviours that are now recognized as atypical.
