This paper explores the role of masculinities in animal harm and conceptions on the Masculinities Offender, primarily motivated by power and masculine behaviors. Within “masculinities crimes,” the exercise of power allied to sport or entertainment is significantly linked to organized crime and gambling. Masculinities crimes also include elements of cruelty or animal abuse and perceptions by offenders of their actions having cultural significance, and where toughness, masculinity, and smartness combine with a love of excitement. Examples include badger digging, badger baiting, cock-fighting, and other crimes involving the “sporting” killing or taking of wildlife. This article explores masculinities offender rationalizations and associated masculinity-based negative attitudes towards animals and animal harm. The public policy response to masculinities crimes reflects acceptance of the violent nature of offenders. Yet arguably enforcement and punishment through use of surveillance activities and undercover operations, and reliance on prison as the primary deterrent/sanction risks being counter-productive and reinforcing the very masculinities that underlie offending behavior.

阳刚之气和动物伤害

本文探讨了男性气质在动物伤害中的作用以及对男性气质罪犯的概念,主要是由权力和男性行为驱动的。在“男子气概犯罪”中,与体育或娱乐相关的权力的行使与有组织的犯罪和赌博密切相关。男子气概犯罪还包括残忍或虐待动物的要素,以及罪犯对其行为具有文化意义的看法,以及强硬、男子气概和聪明与对刺激的热爱相结合。例子包括挖獾、诱獾、斗鸡和其他涉及“体育”杀害或捕获野生动物的犯罪。本文探讨了男子气概犯罪者的合理化以及相关的基于男子气概的对动物和动物伤害的消极态度。对男子气概犯罪的公共政策反应反映了对犯罪者的暴力性质的接受。然而,可以说是通过使用监视活动和卧底行动来执行和惩罚,以及依赖监狱作为主要的威慑/制裁措施,可能会适得其反,并强化构成犯罪行为的男性气质。
