Literature review concepts and applications

¶ … Animal Abuse and Violent Criminal Behavior

In the peer reviewed article and literary review of Patterson-Kane and Piper's article from 2010 they did an article after researching and investigating whether there are alleged disagreements involving animals that are physically mistreated and people who are aggressive and carry out unlawful actions. Within the review of Patterson-Kane and Piper, they did a research using independent and dependent variables, and the independent ones are the ones that are used in an experimentation which is being maneuvered in the research in categorizing to the outcome on the dependent variable which is the response variable which is also looked after in the study that the independent ones causes the dependent one to change to help of the experiment. The survey was conducted to determine if there was perhaps violent intentions in criminals first begins with cruelty to animals and possibly also lead to them also harming their significant other and their own children, and was there also a possibility that this violence toward sadistic scandalous people was carried down to their own children.

The summary does have concepts because it contains information that has sound punctuality that goes further than the understandable motivations for the abstract because there is a lot of statements included that certain authors either stated or quoted about this particular topic. The questionnaires that were given also reflected on further analysis that may associate aggressive behavior toward abuse because the professionals that were included in the article also talked about the different opinions of different experts and there hypothesis on what kind of or what is the reasons for linking animal cruelty to people with violent behavior. These concepts are explained very clearly, for example, the author explains that public organizations like the American Humane Society encouraged others that there was definitely a connection between brutal criminals and the mistreatment of animals that also corresponds to communal influence yet to the degree of rationalizing the elimination of broods in situations where the mistreatment of animals is obvious. Finally, three notions are discussed when the review mentions that these perceptions need to be considered when looking and investigating this subject which is describing the type of maltreatment, written or oral actions on consistency, and deciding on haphazard numerical breakdowns to come up with outcomes to the hypothesis.

The article analysis focuses on a thesis, and a very clear one when we are looking at the scoring categorical inclusive assessments because it exceeds a premise that is vague and irrelevant, however, the central focus of the paper is only basic instead of more uncommon because it talks about criminal behavior and its connection to animal abuse. It could have been a more specific thesis that talked about a certain type of violent criminal and abuse, yet it only gives a broad literary statement of the central reason for the paper. Furthermore, when we look at the support that is stated in the literature, there are more opinions within the summary about linkages than there is about the evidence. Therefore, the paper could have provided more significant data about the reasons behind these types of behaviors in criminals instead of just listing some of the experts and other professionals that had input to add to the subject at hand.

When looking at this analysis of illicit activity and how these people have been known to abuse and/or kill living creatures, there is less organization in this text which means that a lot of the text documented in the paper is repetitive with less structure than some of the reviews that have been notated in the past. The paragraphs could use a little more levelness with smooth transactions to talk about this subject in more of a chronological order rather than it having distinct and descriptive paragraphs with a lot of gathered data on one particular or a few related scenarios with a variety of added professional comments and information on what other researchers have retrieved from their own analysis on the titled work. The organizational structure of the document could have been more in order in wording, citations, referencing, and the consistency of additional information that came to a bigger climax with some kind of interesting outcome. The only precise information of these hypotheses was toward the end which should have been expressed with deeper concern and feedback to readers for them to have a better understanding. The only feedback that was notated was in a brief and repetitive paragraph with the author stating that the research and outcome was more of a hassle than expected because of how one exam looked at serial killers and violent tendencies toward maltreatment of animals stated proof found did not accomplish a convincing rational correlation instituting the precise reasons in the investigation of Tallichet, Hensliet, and Felthous. Furthermore the author's literary outcomes stated that Patterson and Piper recommend that this theory openly showed a relationship to animal brutality or it could point to hazards for vicious actions as challenging, and the hypothesis necessitates additional investigations to create the actual worthiness of the study associated with the link examined. Lastly, the references were included yet unprofessionally, and needed, as well as the entire review to be revised and fixed accordingly so the paper looks for professionally done and the reference page is on its own page with the errors not indicated because of the fragments it shows in references are still not fixed or easy to read.
