Abstract

This chapter delves into family explanations, starting with types of family violence—filial violence, intimate partner violence, child maltreatment, filicide and elderly abuse—and then family risk factors for later offending. There are six types of family risk factors that have been identified, and we look at the relevance of these in light of the findings from Japan. One type of risk factor that has not been studied in Japan is family criminality, or the intergenerational transmission of crime. A primary challenge in effectively addressing family violence is societal perceptions of the family and women.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Criterion A has to do with exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence (American Psychiatric Association 2013).

  2. 2.

    This question was asked slightly differently in the Seattle sample and the parent, whoever the adolescent lived with, answered: ‘Did the student live with his or her natural mother/father?’
