N2 - This chapter offers a critical discussion of the international and cross-cultural research on violence against parents. It begins with a brief history of the research literature into both fatal and non-fatal violence against parents. In doing so, it highlights the trajectories of both literatures, and the cultural biases and challenges therein. The chapter then critically examines the international prevalence data on fatal and non-fatal violence against parents and highlights key patterns, and differences, across geographical and cultural borders. The chapter then discusses some of the ways in which a cross-cultural approach to violence against parents can be understood, using examples to illustrate how culture might shape both the perpetration of such violence, and the individual, familial, and societal responses to it. The final section of the chapter discusses current interventions for working with violence against parents from around the world.© 2021, The Author(s).
