Ever since Oedipus unwittingly killed his father and married his
mother in Sophocles' play, parricide - the killing of a parent or
another close relative - has been a dominant motif in works of
literature, film, psychoanalytic theory, and criminology. Yet,
parricide, for much of the twentieth and twenty-first century, has
been framed as an adolescent phenomenon, with child abuse proffered
as the overriding cause related to the killing of parents. Respect,
Defense, and Self-Identity provides a new way of understanding
parricides by analyzing the behavior of offenders and victims at
the scene of the crime in relation to the sources of conflict. This
book examines the conflict between parents and their offspring
across the life course and argues that parricides are shaped by
factors such as respect, defense, and self-identity. Respect,
Defense, and Self-Identity is recommended for classroom use in
courses such as criminology, homicide, family violence, and social
work.
