The paper focuses on providing information on many aspects of family violence.
This paper reveals what type of involvement could effectively be used with these families along with different agencies that could provide services to assist them. Statistics of Canada and United States of America are also provided to reveal the degree of parent assault and sibling assault, for better understanding of such incidences as well as explore the causes and correlates of such behavior in families. In conclusion, general recommendations are given as to what appropriate types of intervention assistance can be offered which at the same time are supplemented with theories given in the paper and to what kinds of intervention programs would be most effective, particularly to treat adolescents who assault their parents.
