We are indebted to the generosity of the University of South Wales (formerly the University of Glamorgan) for funding the event. Many of the chapters in this book were written by symposium attendees. As editors, our debts are legion. To all those who share our pro-animal passion for the advancement of animal abuse studies and who helped us complete the Handbook: thank you! We thank the many authors who contributed chapters and who in so doing helped advance this important fi eld of enquiry. Your commitment has been invaluable. We also wish to acknowledgethecontributionbothofourimmediatecolleaguesandofthose fi further a eld (our many colleagues and their networks, especially in green ff criminology); in di erent and important ways you have made this project possible. fi ff Our gratitude must also be extended to the ne sta at Palgrave Macmillan, especially Julia Willan, Josephine Taylor, Dominic Walker and Stephanie Carey. Your enthusiasm and constructive engagement have been crucial. ff The focus of the Handbook is the situation of animals who su er death and other harms and abuses at the hands of humans. Because much animal abuse is intentionally and routinely rendered invisible, criminol- ogy, sociology and related disciplines have tended to ignore our fellow creatures. We wish to recognise and acknowledge these animals and the people and organisations who work so tirelessly on their behalf. As a small token of our support in this regard, our royalties from this v vi Acknowledgments Handbook will be donated equally to the Animals and Society Institute and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Finally, we salute our family and friends for their love and support. The ’ book is dedicated to a special few: To Harriets Amelia, Tilly, Charlie and ’ ’ Mum. To Piers Boz, Daisy, Lydia and late brother Nicholas. To Jennifers ff Keith, Bu y and her many foster dog guests.
