“…In the current study, physical CPV of young people during the past year of living together was 5%, according to the technical-abuse approach and 14% with zero-tolerance. This prevalence rate is consistent with past research with adolescents [21] and with young adults [56]. Ibabe et al [20] found that 5% of teenagers had exercised some form of severe physical violence towards their parents at some time during the previous year.…”

“…Ibabe et al [20] found that 5% of teenagers had exercised some form of severe physical violence towards their parents at some time during the previous year. In a study of young Australians aged 14-25 years, Simmons et al [56] reported a similar prevalence rate of physically abusive behavior (7%) toward one parent. This means that future research should consider CPV in those above the age of 18 because many young people still live with their parents after becoming legal adults, although it would not be necessary for parents and children to reside together for abuse to happen.…”

The exposure of adult children to inter-parental violence is an indirect form of victimization which has not been widely investigated in relation to its consequences in adulthood. The main goal of this study was to analyze predictors of dating violence based on an integrated model of intergenerational transmission of violence with the assessment of potential indirect effects of inter-parental violence exposure on dating violence through child-to-parent violence and sexism. A total of 847 college students participated in this study, ranging from 18 to 25 years of age. Inter-parental violence exposure plays a relevant role in dating violence, with indirect effects through child-to-parent violence and sexism. These results support social learning theory in explaining the intergenerational transmission of violence and indicate that further attention should be paid to children exposed to inter-parental violence. Intervention models to prevent the perpetration of dating violence should include the prevention of inter-parental violence exposure and child-to-parent violence.

“…Overall, violence was more common towards mothers (Aroca, Lorenzo, & Miró, 2014;Calvete & Orue, 2016;Condry & Miles, 2014;Ibabe & Jaureguizar, 2011;Lyons et al, 2015), and girls caused more injuries to mothers (10% more than boys) though this difference was not significant (Calvete & Orue, 2016;Del Hoyo-Bilbao et al, 2018;Walsh & Krienert, 2007). When violence is physical, our data show, in accordance with previous work, that it is more common that males assault their fathers (Simmons et al, 2019). However, we did not replicate the finding that the most serious assaults are directed towards the father (Simmons et al, 2019), since in this same, injuries were almost entirely suffered by the mothers.…”

“…First, regarding prevalence of the problem, the proportion of male and female aggressors is more balanced than for other kinds of crimes. However, prevalence rates depend on the samples used (with percentages being more equal in more normalized samples, such as students) and male offenders are the majority in almost all studies using judicial samples (Armstrong, Cain, Wylie, Muftić, & Bouffard, 2018;Boxer, Gullan, & Mahoney, 2009;Ibabe & Jaureguizar, 2010;Simmons, McEwan, Purcell, & Huynh, 2019;Walsh & Krienert, 2007). When analyzing community samples (students' self-reports), the proportions of male and female assailants are similar, but in criminal samples the proportion of men ranges from 59% to 87% (Simmons, McEwan, Purcell, & Ogloff, 2018).…”

“…Finally, there also appear to be differences with respect to the parent who has been assaulted. Studies conclude that mothers are the most frequent target of violence, although the most serious physical assaults are committed against fathers and by male children (Condry & Miles, 2014;Lyons et al, 2015;Simmons et al, 2019). Other research has shown that daughters target their mothers more, especially when there is physical violence (Calvete & Orue, 2016;Del Hoyo-Bilbao, Gámez-Guadix, Orue, & Calvete, 2018;Walsh & Krienert, 2007).…”

La violencia filio-parental (VFP) ha suscitado un enorme interés académico. Pese a ello, pocos estudios comparan los factores de riesgo de chicos y chicas implicados en estas agresiones a sus progenitores. El presente trabajo compara 56 chicos y 35 chicas agresores evaluados con la Guía para la Valoración del Riesgo de Violencia Filio-Parental (RVFP). Las chicas provenían de forma significativa de contextos más problemáticos (con bidireccionalidad de la violencia, violencia entre los progenitores, problemas de convivencia y problemas en los progenitores) y tenían significativamente menos autoestima. Los chicos presentaron significativamente más historial de problemas de abusos de sustancias y mayor escalada en la violencia. En conjunto, ambos sexos presentaban prevalencias similares en la mayoría de las variables, su violencia era comparable (aunque las lesiones a los padres fueron exclusivas de los chicos) y las familias eran más problemáticas en ellas. La predicción de las lesiones a la madre con la puntuación del RVFP fue significativa en el caso de los varones (AUC = ,842) pero no en el caso de ellas (AUC = ,660). Los resultados justifican el uso de tratamientos y herramientas comunes en chicos y chicas implicados en VFP, aunque se discuten desarrollos aún necesarios en la materia. Child-to-parent violence (CPV) has attracted enormous academic interest. Despite this, few studies compare the risk factors between female and male perpetrators of this abuse toward parents. This paper compares 56 male and 35 female CPV offenders, evaluated with the Child-to-Parent Violence Risk assessment tool (CPVR). Results show that girls came from significantly more problematic contexts (with bidirectionality of violence, violence between parents, cohabitation problems and personal problems of parents, and had significantly lower self-esteem. Boys had significantly more histories of substance abuse issues and greater rates of escalation of violence. Overall, both sexes had similar prevalence rates for most variables, the type of violence committed was comparable (although injuries toward fathers were only perpetrated by boys), and female perpetrators had more problematic families than their male counterparts. CPVR scores significantly predicted injuries toward the mother for male offenders (AUC = .842), but not for female offenders (AUC = .660). These results support the use of common treatments and tools for female and male CPV offenders. Future steps and developments in the field are also discussed.

The Child-to-Parent Violence Functions Scale (CPV-F): Development and Validation

et al. 2022

Purpose The function (i.e., the motivation) of child-to-parent violence (CPV) is an important consideration for intervention but under researched, primarily due to a lack of appropriate measurement tools. The current study aimed to develop and validate a caregiver-report measure of the function of CPV (the Child-to-Parent Violence Functions Scale [CPV-F]). Methods One-hundred-and-twenty-one caregivers (94% female) ranging from 27 to 68 years of age (M = 45.36, SD = 8.35) completed an online survey reporting on experiences of CPV from a young person, who were mostly male (63%) and aged between 5 and 24 years (M = 12.71, SD = 4.77). Results The current study shows that the motivation for CPV varies across three related but distinct functions: Reactive (i.e., in response to perceived or actual threat, transgression, or intrusion), Affective (i.e., driven by internal frustration, fear, or emotional conflict), and Proactive (i.e., instrumental, callous, and planned). The CPV-F demonstrated predictive and concurrent validity, as well as adequate reliability across subscales. Conclusions Future research should consider the function of CPV, as it may impact the relevance of risk factors. Moving forward, the CPV-F could be used for comprehensive investigative profiling, with a focus on parent and dyadic factors, to resolve heterogeneity in the field. Such factors are crucial to intervention yet under explored. As a caregiver-report measure, the CPV-F is well-positioned to aid in these investigations.
