[en] Differences associated with child to parent violence depending on the type of family ("normalized" vs. "at risk") and kinship of the victim. Child to Parent Violence (CPV) is considered an emerging crime, and the current research is trying to clarify differential characteristics. Some authors have distinguished two types: the "traditional" CPV and the "new" CPV; however, this differentiation requires more empirical support. The objective of this study was to analyze the existence of differences in risk factors in a sample of adolescents and young people who committed CPV, depending on the type of family to which they belong: current users of social services ("traditional" CPV) versus non-user families ("new" CPV). Risk factors analyzed were family separation, exposure to violence, school failure, drug use and mental pathology. A second objective was to identify the main victim of the violent behavior (father, mother or both) in single-parent, nuclear and reconstituted families. A total of 72 Spanish young people from 14-21 years old (M = 16.7; SD = 2.5; 65.3% boys) were recruited from the Municipal Social Emergency Service of Bilbao, Spain. Results indicated the existence of differences among adolescents belonging to both types of families only in two of the five risks factors: family separation (r = .57) and exposure to violence (r =.54). These results suggest that there could be more similarities than differences between both types of CPV. The mother was who mainly received the violent behaviors. When only nuclear or reconstituted families are analyzed, violence was committed against both parents indistinctly. The relevance of considering these factors in the adolescents who commit CPV in order to design of effective intervention programs is discussed.

[es] La violencia filio-parental (VFP) es considerada como un delito emergente en el que la investigación está tratando de esclarecer sus características diferenciales. Algunos autores distinguen dos tipos de VFP: la "Tradicional" y la "Nueva"; pero esta diferenciación requiere mayor apoyo empírico. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar posibles diferencias en factores de riesgo en una muestra de menores que ejercieron VFP en función del tipo de familia a la que pertenecen: usuarias habituales de Servicios Sociales (VFP "Tradicional") vs no usuarias (VFP "Nueva"). Los factores de riesgo analizados fueron: separación familiar, exposición a la violencia, fracaso escolar, consumo de droga y patología mental. Un segundo objetivo fue identificar hacia quién se dirige la conducta violenta (padre, madre o ambos) en familias monoparentales, nucleares y reconstituidas. Participaron 72 jóvenes entre 14 y 21 años (M = 16.7; DT = 2.5; 65.3 % eran chicos), reclutados del Servicio Municipal de Urgencias Sociales de Bilbao, en España. Hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p < .05) entre adolescentes pertenecientes a ambos tipos de familias en 2 de los 5 factores analizados: separación familiar (r = .57) y exposición a la violencia (r = .54). Esto sugiere que podría haber más similitudes que diferencias entre ambos tipos de VFP. La mujer es quien mayoritariamente recibe conductas violentas. En las familias nucleares o reconstituidas la violencia se ejerce contra ambos padres. Se discute la importancia de considerar los factores de riesgo asociados a la VFP con el objetivo de diseñar programas de intervención efectivos.
