This book seeks to break new ground in the way in which adolescent-to-parent violence and abuse is understood. Incorporating knowledge from an original research project undertaken in the UK and international literature, this book provides insight into the prevalence of this form of domestic violence which can include psychological, physical, and economic abuse. Young person and family characteristics are explored, and links are made between sibling aggression and school bullying behaviours. A key theme is how the data can be used to develop statistical models which can screen for young people behaving abusively towards their parents. It discusses how the research can be applied to inform theoretical frameworks, policy development, and professional practice, with a focus on prevention and early intervention that uses positive youth justice and restorative approaches.

Who's in Charge?, written by Eddie Gallagher, is a book aimed at helping parents unravel the mysteries of violent and abusive children. For those who don't have difficult teenage children, this book will come as something of a thunderbolt as the misery that some parents and families endure is not well-documented or discussed. For those whose children are reasonably normal and average, this will come as something of a relief! Never again will you complain about sour faces, bad moods and bombsite bedrooms. Eddie Gallagher's main objective is to explore the facts and expose the taboo that surrounds the concept of children perpetrating violent acts upon their parents. However, Who's in Charge? contains a mine of information about family relationships, about emotions in general and stacks of advice about good parenting, so this is a book that every parent would benefit from reading. It will also be of interest to professionals and academics as there has been little written on this topic, and nothing with such scope. Candid, non-judgmental, certainly not sanctimonious and full of humour, Eddie Gallagher is able to take this difficult and largely hidden topic and expose it. Other topics are covered which would be of interest to any parent - the effect of social media and the internet, an increasing lack of respect towards authority in society - and the author also touches on the issue of violent abuse between adults within relationships plus the input of healthcare professionals and the moral minefield they face, all in all a veritable mine of information. Accessible, relevant and easy to read, every part of this book will impact someone somewhere, whether they have children or not.

Child to Parent Violence and Abuse (CPVA), where a child or young person uses verbal, physical, psychological or financial means to gain power or control over a parent or carer, is a much misunderstood problem that affects the lives of millions of families around the world. Despite this, and the lasting damage it can cause, CPVA is an underreported issue, and one that presents a serious challenge to practitioners and support services -- not least because it inverts our normal understanding of abuse within the family. In this book Helen Bonnick shares the knowledge that she has built up over many years specialising in CPVA as a social worker, practice educator and researcher. Following an introductory chapter, the book is divided into five sections that develop an understanding of key issues before moving on to a more structured approach to supporting families. Illustrated throughout with real-life anecdotes, testimony and advice from those who have faced CPVA, Child to Parent Violence and Abuse brings this complex issue out of the shadows and provides much needed guidance to practitioners. - Presents a broad understanding of the key issues involved in CPVA for all those working with troubled families, as well as students currently undergoing training - Explores an issue of threatening and/or violent behaviour in the home that affects millions of parents, yet remains poorly understood by practitioners in the field - Proceeds from definitions, prevalence and impact to specific suggestions for responses and proven models for intervention (e.g. 'Step-Up', 'Who's in Charge') - Each chapter is illustrated with real life anecdotes and testimony of families who have given permission for their voices to be included

The World Health Statistics series is WHO's annual compilation of health statistics for its 194 Member States. The series is produced by the WHO Department of Information, Evidence and Research, and of the Health Systems and Innovation Cluster, in collaboration with all relevant WHO technical departments. World Health Statistics 2017 compiles data on 21 health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets with 35 indicators as well as data on life expectancy. This edition also includes, for the first time, success stories from several countries that are making progress towards the health-related SDG targets. World Health Statistics 2017 is organized into three parts. Part 1 describes six lines of action that WHO is now promoting to help build better systems for health and to achieve the health and health-related SDGs. In Part 2, the status of selected health-related SDG indicators is summarized at both global and regional level based on data available as of early 2017. Part 3 presents a selection of stories that highlight recent successful efforts by countries to improve and protect the health of their populations through one or more of the six lines of action. Annexes A and B present country-level estimates for selected health-related SDG indicators. As in previous years, World Health Statistics 2017 has been compiled primarily using publications and databases produced and maintained by WHO or United Nations groups of which WHO is a member such as the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME). Additionally, a number of statistics have been derived from data produced and maintained by other international organizations such as the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and its Population Division.

The period of young adulthood, from ages 18 to 23, is popularly considered the most sexualized in life. But is it true? What do we really know about the sexual lives of young people today? Premarital Sex in America combines illuminating personal stories and comprehensive research surveys to provide the fullest portrait of heterosexuality among young adults ever produced. Mark Regnerus and Jeremy Uecker draw upon a wealth of survey data as well as scores of in-depth interviews with young adults from around the country, both in and out of college. Digging underneath stereotypes and unexamined assumptions, the authors offer compelling--and often surprising--answers to such questions as: How do the emotional aspects of sexual relations differ between young men and women? What role do political orientations play in their sexual relations? How have online dating and social networking sites affected the relationships of emerging adults? Why are young people today waiting so much longer to marry? How prevalent are nontraditional forms of sex, and what do people think of them? To better understand what drives the sexual behaviors of emerging adults, Regnerus and Uecker pay special attention to two important concepts: sexual scripts, the unwritten and often unconscious rules that guide sexual behavior and attitudes; and sexual economics, a theory which suggests that the relative scarcity of men on college campuses contributes to the "hookup" culture by allowing men to diminish their level of commitment and thereby lower the "price" they have to "pay" for sex. For anyone wishing to understand how sexual relations between young adults have changed and are changing, Premarital Sex in America will serve as a touchstone for years to come.

Interferencias parentales: Experiencias desde el derecho de familia y la psicología forense es un encuentro entre las experiencias de víctimas de interferencias parentales tales como la alienación parental y el maltrato infantil, junto con las experiencias de profesionales del Derecho de familia y la Psicología forense, quienes convergen para enfrentar el flagelo de la instrumentalización filial tan frecuente en litigios legales, donde el enfoque de niñez suele quedar en segundo plano frente a los intereses de los adultos. Los autores presentan un panorama del conflicto parental en Hispanoamérica y ejemplifican cómo la Psicología forense en interacción con el Derecho, resultan esenciales para la protección de los derechos y la eficacia judicial, justamente en un mundo donde el concepto de familia cambia velozmente y los intereses políticos, económicos y culturales afectan su estabilidad e incluso su existencia. Así pues, el lector encontrará herramientas técnicas y vivenciales desde la Psicología y el Derecho para comprender, abordar y evaluar las nuevas y viejas tácticas que se usan en el litigio en familia para proteger los derechos de niños y sus genitores con más herramientas de orden científico que de orden ideológico en un enfoque de derechos. Este libro resultará útil para trabajadores sociales, psicólogos terapéuticos, psicólogos forenses, abogados, autoridades judiciales en familia y derecho penal, investigadores y será un libro orientativo para las familias en conflicto que requieran de una justicia eficaz y científica.

This book examines the use of violence by children and young people in family settings and proposes specialised and age-appropriate responses to these children and young people It interrogates the adequacy and effectiveness of current service and justice system responses, including analysis of police, court and specialist service responses. It proposes new approaches to children and young people who use violence that are evidence based, non-punitive, and informed by an understanding of the complexity of needs and the importance of age appropriate service responses. Bringing together a range of Australian and International experts, it sheds new light on questions such as: How can we best understand and respond to the use of family violence by young people? To what extent do traditional family violence responses address the experiences of adolescents who use violence in family settings? What barriers to help seeking exist for parental and sibling victims of adolescent family violence? To what degree do existing support and justice services provide adequate responses to those using adolescent family violence and their families? In what circumstances do children kill their biological and adopted parents? The explicit focus on child and adolescent family violence produces new knowledge in the area of family violence, which will be of relevance to academics, policy makers and family violence practitioners in Australia and internationally.
