This study examines the characteristics of parricide in Australia using 35 years of data from the National Homicide Monitoring Program. Parricide, or the homicide of a parent by their child, comprises five percent of homicides each year. Offenders were predominantly male but victimisation was more even. Parricide was largely gendered, with sons more likely to kill their fathers and daughters to kill their mothers. Offenders aged 10–17 years committed parricide at higher rates than older homicide offenders and almost a fifth of parricide offenders were delusional at the time of the homicide. Findings illustrate the distinctiveness of parricide and the greater need to consider this form of lethal violence in responses to family violence.
This report examines the experiences of children and young people aged between 10 and 17 years who are respondents to family violence intervention orders (FVIOs) and personal safety intervention orders (PSIOs).
Parent mental health may be related to the experience of CPV, and may be a possible intervention target; however, evidence to support these links, and the directionality of potential links, is currently unclear. This study aimed to systematically review studies measuring parent mental health and experience of CPV.
This presentation from Deakin University researchers explored implications for practice, including the importance of screening both young people and caregivers for substance use, and adopting family-based interventions that address relational dynamics and coping strategies.
The purpose of this research was to work directly with children instigating child and adolescent to parent violence and abuse due to explosive and harmful impulsive, and parents experiencing such harms, to understand their help-seeking practices and experiences.
This research from Movember Institute maps young men’s digital ecosystems: what they do online, the content that engages them, and emerging trends shaping their health, wellbeing, and relationships. The findings offer practical insights for supporting young men online and offline.
This article presents findings from a secondary analysis of data from the Adolescent Family Violence in Australia (AFVA) study—the first national study of the nature, prevalence and impacts of AFV in Australia. The AFVA study involved an online survey of 5021 young people aged 16–20.
This systematic review examines the effectiveness of interventions focused on improving the mental health of parents of adolescents with neurodevelopmental conditions and synthesises details about the intervention characteristics.
Instead of merely emphasizing the reduction of screen time, guidelines should prioritize improving the quality of screen content and enhancing social interactions during screen use. Additionally, screen time guidelines should discourage high levels of the most high-risk behaviors like gaming.
