Lewis & Clark Law School Professor Pamela D. Frasch, the Brooks Mcormick Jr. Scholar of Animal Law and Policy, wrote Chapter 4, Examining Anticruelty Enhancements: Historical Context and Policy Advances.
Description
Carceral logics permeate our thinking about humans and nonhumans. We imagine that greater punishment will reduce crime and make society safer. We hope that more convictions and policing for animal crimes will keep animals safe and elevate their social status. The dominant approach to human-animal relations is governed by an unjust imbalance of power that subordinates or ignores the interest nonhumans have in freedom. In this volume Lori Gruen and Justin Marceau invite experts to provide insights into the complicated intersection of issues that arise in thinking about animal law, violence, mass incarceration, and social change.
