Adolescent violence towards parents (AVTP) is a form of family violence that tests family relationships and the role of parents and can have lasting impacts on all members of families. This study aimed to explore typologies of AVTP offenders based on their criminal justice system involvement, as well as explore differences between groups of AVTP based on their offending. Data were collated by the South Australian Office of Crime, Statistics and Research (OCSAR) in 2017 and included young people who had been apprehended by the South Australian Police between 2008 and 2012 for violence against a parent or step parent. There were a total of 305 young people included in the study, ranging in age from 10 to 17 years. The study found that there were three different groups of AVTP offenders: AVTP offenders, AVTP non-violent offenders who have committed other non-violent crimes and AVTP violent offender who have committed other violent crimes outside of their AVTP offence. Findings suggested that an AVTP offence in isolation is a rarity, and most AVTP offenders commit other non-violent or violent offending. The study concluded that AVTP may be a function of general anti-sociality and occur within the context of a pattern of violent or deviant behaviour, as opposed to a specialist, targeted, isolated incidence of violence.

青少年对父母的暴力行为：专业化案例？

青少年对父母的暴力 (AVTP) 是一种家庭暴力形式，它测试家庭关系和父母的角色，并对所有家庭成员产生持久影响。本研究旨在根据他们的刑事司法系统参与来探索 AVTP 罪犯的类型，并根据他们的罪行探索 AVTP 群体之间的差异。数据由南澳大利亚犯罪、统计和研究办公室 (OCSAR) 于 2017 年整理，其中包括在 2008 年至 2012 年期间因对父母或继父母施暴而被南澳大利亚警方逮捕的年轻人。共有 305 名年轻人参与了这项研究，年龄从 10 岁到 17 岁不等。研究发现，存在三类不同的 AVTP 罪犯：AVTP 罪犯、犯有其他非暴力犯罪的 AVTP 非暴力犯罪者和犯有 AVTP 犯罪之外的其他暴力犯罪的 AVTP 暴力犯罪者。调查结果表明，孤立的 AVTP 犯罪是罕见的，大多数 AVTP 犯罪者会犯下其他非暴力或暴力犯罪。该研究得出的结论是，AVTP 可能是普遍反社会性的一种功能，并且发生在暴力或越轨行为模式的背景下，而不是专门的、有针对性的、孤立的暴力事件。
