ABSTRACT
In the final chapter, the authors draw together some key overarching themes from the book. A main point that needs attention is the fact that child to parent aggression and violence is gender-based, with mothers as the most frequent victims of such behaviour. As is the case with sexual violence, child to parent aggression victims/ survivors are highly unlikely to get the help and support they may very well need. Local government could make provision for support services whilst also having an ongoing campaign to increase reporting levels. This could operate on much the same lines as currently seen with reports of domestic violence as traditionally understood. Capturing child to parent aggression and violence within discussions and debates around domestic violence would perhaps be another more efficient approach. This chapter concludes by outlining some potential future research directions.
