书籍简介

《动物虐待调查：从受害者到判决的协作方法》为应对动物虐待案件的专家提供了一个框架：兽医、执法机构、动物护理和控制组织以及检察官。

本书是一本实用指南，为动物虐待调查的每个阶段提供见解和指导。本书提供了关于如何应对与动物虐待案件相关的特定问题和挑战的分步指南，并附有丰富的清单、表单模板、具体案例协议和可用资源列表。本书旨在通过以下方式让读者能够自信而有效地应对动物虐待案件：

向兽医介绍他们在动物虐待调查中的关键作用，包括法医检查和尸检、犯罪现场响应、报告撰写和证词。其中包括针对常见动物虐待场景的详细具体案例协议。

帮助动物收容所应对将动物置于保护性监护下、收容不寻常物种以及将证据动物置于寄养中的挑战。

为执法机构提供调查虐待动物的有用方法，例如搜查和扣押规程、证人访谈技巧以及加强和确保正确执行搜查令、证据收集和处理以及保管链所需的宝贵表格和模板；所有这些都以动物作为受害者和证据为重点。

指导检察官完成在审判期间利用兽医调查结果的必要步骤，并深入了解在审查搜查令、提出指控、提出认罪协议或提出定罪前没收动议时需要考虑的问题。

这本书是兽医、技术人员、执法人员、检察官以及所有参与保护动物健康和福祉的人员的参考和指南。成功调查动物犯罪依赖于这些学科中的每一个，不仅要履行他们的专业职责，而且要集体了解彼此需要什么才能满足这一期望。

Animal Cruelty Investigations: A Collaborative Approach from Victim to Verdict provides a framework for the experts who respond to animal cruelty cases: veterinarians, law enforcement agencies, animal care and control organizations, and prosecutors.

This book is a practical guide which provides insight and direction for every phase of an animal cruelty investigation. The step-by-step guidance on responding to particular issues and challenges related to animal cruelty cases is bolstered by the extensive library of checklists, form templates, specific case protocols, and lists of available resources. This book is designed to empower readers to respond to animal cruelty cases confidently and effectively by:

Introducing veterinarians to their critical role in animal cruelty investigations including forensic examination and necropsy, crime scene response, report writing, and testimony. Included are detailed Specific Case Protocols for common animal cruelty scenarios.

Helping animal shelters navigate the challenges of holding animals in protective custody, housing unusual species, and placing evidence animals in foster care.

Offering law enforcement agencies useful methods for investigating animal cruelty such as search and seizure protocols, witness interview techniques, and valuable forms and templates necessary to strengthen and ensure proper search warrant execution, evidence collection and handling, and chain of custody; all with a focus on animals as both victims and evidence.

Guiding prosecutors through the steps necessary to utilize the veterinarian’s findings during trial and providing insight into issues to be considered when reviewing search warrants, filing charges, proposing plea agreements, or filing pre-conviction forfeiture motions.

This book is a must-have reference and guide for veterinarians, technicians, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and all those involved in the protection of animals’ health and wellbeing. The successful investigation of animal crimes relies on each of these disciplines, not only carrying out their professional duties, but having a collective understanding of what each other needs in order to meet that expectation.
