By delving into these impacts, which include financial, emotional, practical, and quality-of-life issues, and giving voice to caregivers and companion animals, this book contributes towards building an evidence-base that can be considered in relation to future global debates. Considering alternative methods of reducing dog attacks, the authors draw out the implications of their findings for policymakers as well the wider, international debate on breed-specific legislation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first book written on this contemporary topic, this is cutting edge reading for scholars interested in human-animal interactions, issues of species justice, sentience and victimology, breed specific legislation, and harm-reduction. It is also of interest to practitioners and advocates working with those affected by the ban, and policymakers as they consider how to respond to continued reports of dog attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Walliss \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Senior Lecturer in Criminology in the College of Health \u0026amp; Humanities, University of Derby, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Allen \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Senior Lecturer in Animal Geography at Keele University, UK, and founded the evidence-based Pet Theft Reform (2018-) campaign and influenced UK policy change with the creation of the Pet Abduction Act 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelanie Flynn \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Faculty Associate Dean for Research, Scholarship and Knowledge Exchange at Liverpool Hope University, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 09, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53275782742323,"sku":"9781837089338","price":109.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MV3wSbDPIr9781837089338.webp?v=1776901218","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-xl-bully-ban-impacts-of-breed-specific-legislation-on-exempted-dogs-and-their-caregivers-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
