Title: Investigating Adolescent Family Violence: Background, Research and Directions

Summary: Adolescent Family Violence (AFV) is increasingly being recognised as an area of concern in Australia and the Global North. AFV refers to the use of physical, emotional, psychological, verbal, financial and/or sexual abuse by a child or adolescent against their parent, carer, sibling or other family member in the home (McKenna, O'Connor & Verco 2010; Royal Commission into Family Violence 2016, vol. IV, chapter 23, 149). AFV has been recognised as a problem by those working in family violence intervention, and the problem is increasingly being recognised in research. Yet AFV remains to be comprehensively studied and researched. There is a need for knowledge to be expanded and methodological tools for studying AFV to be enhanced and aligned. Furthermore, there are limited guidelines or information surrounding AFV in policy, youth services, family services, the justice sectors and family violence services in Australia and abroad (Royal Commission into Family Violence 2016 (hereafter RCFV); Condry & Miles 2014). This context report surveys the field of AFV, providing definitions of AFV and related concepts, then giving overviews of research, the state of knowledge, policies and practice regarding AFV, what we know about AFV, and methodologies used to research it. The report includes recommendations and suggestions for moving forward and ends with a consideration of "parricide", that is, the murder of a parent by a child. This report furthermore highlights key researchers and work conducted in the space of AFV.
