abstract="Research on adolescent-to-parent violence (APV) associates specific psychosocial  characteristics with adolescents who assault their parents, whether they are within  or outside the juvenile justice system, or whether these characteristics are shared  by other adolescents convicted of other crimes. The aim of this paper is to compare  three groups of adolescents. Those who have been sentenced for APV are compared with  adolescents who have committed other crimes, and with a group who have not been  involved in the justice system. The sample used consists of 148 male participants  between the ages of 14 and 21. A comparison is made regarding type of self-reported  behavior, frequency of drug use, academic performance, exposure to violence,  self-concept, and parents' conflict resolution tactics. The results obtained  indicate that adolescents with judicial measures, regardless of the crime committed,  differ from those who have not been in trouble with the justice system in terms of  them having suffered violence in the street, the frequency with which they use drugs  and in their academic achievement. Likewise, adolescents convicted of APV differ  from the other two groups in the frequency with which they are victims of violence  at home, in that their mothers use the tactic of asking somebody else for help as a  way of solving marital conflicts, and in having a more negative family self-concept. The results are discussed highlighting the importance of taking into account whether  a sample is judicial, clinical, or community, and the specific APV behaviors which  are measured.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
