Child-to-Parent violence (CPV) may generalise into other relationships later in life. Study participants showed CPV was positively associated with experience (i.e. as perpetrator or victim) of recent violence as an adult, including physical, sexual, and verbal violence, as well as intimidation, across a variety of contexts (home, work, transport, and licensed venues). These associations interacted with gender. CPV in adolescence may be an important secondary prevention target to interrupt the progression of violence across the lifespan.
