Parricide and Violence Against Parents takes a historical and
criminological approach to the research on parricide and violence
against parents, placing the research in the context of social
development from the 1500s to contemporary society, and giving a
global overview and comparison. The book examines parricide and
violence against parents as historically and culturally sensitive
phenomena. It offers evidence on a seemingly rare subject from
different eras, areas, and cultures, and then uses the
cross-disciplinary data to produce a new, systematic insight for
the reader. Case studies shift the discussion from the contemporary
focus on adolescent to parent abuse, to examining the sources of
conflict during life cycles of parents and their offspring. A
historical approach illuminates the variations in conflicts between
parents and their offspring that are shaped by the life stages of
the victims and offenders themselves across time. The book argues
that parental authority has been marked by property ownership and
tax paying responsibilities throughout history. The continued
possession of property resulted in power, the reluctance to part
with it, becoming a notable source of conflict across generations
within families. Parental authority was protected by means of heavy
penalties and punishments and didactic teachings in almost every
society at every stage of historical development. It was also
challenged constantly by children as a part of their coming into
adulthood. The abuse of parents has often been connected to
situations where adult children were prevented from gaining the
amount of independence appropriate to their position in life. This
led to disputes over authority and the legitimate grounds for that
authority. Offering an insight into complicated and interconnected
histories of generational conflicts and how they affect modern
families in different parts of the world, this book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of criminology, history of
crime, history of the family, family violence, homicide studies,
gender studies, history of emotions, political violence, and social
work.
