Although adolescent-to-parent violence is often overlooked by family violence researchers and practitioners, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests it is widespread. Knowledge about this type of violence is limited and few established interventions exist. This article describes an intervention—called the Step-Up program—for youth who assault their parents in King County, Washington, and identifies risk factors for youth offenders and characteristics of victimized parents and families. Three sources of data are used to describe adolescent offenders and their families: statistics from the King County Prosecutor's Office, data from interviews with these youth and their parents, and clinical observations of the Step-Up staff who have worked closely with youth and parents for 10 years.
