Correlation Between Child Abuse And Animal Abuse

[dannyday5821]

im trying to look for studies that link explain, and perhaps provide some sort of evidence between child abuse and animal abuse, on google I can only find generalised articles, rather than actual studies.

does anyone know where I can find something like this? it's for an essay I have to write, but left it last min and don't have time to waste at the library!

Time spent in a Library is never wasted.

This article is fully-referenced and considers the link. It'sa few years old but I dont expect that to be a problem:
