Episode 5: Sentencing

Animal Amicus podcast

December 6, 2023


What are the penological goals of our criminal justice system? Is there a link between animal cruelty and mental illness? How can shifting the way we think about animals create more empathic and resilient communities? Nicole Pallotta and David Rosengard tackle these and other questions as they discuss default sentencing options, diversion programs, restitution, protective orders, and restorative justice.
