(the comments in response to this article even for the now abyssmal Guardian are totally appalling) Data from the Metropolitan police revealed that there were 1,892 reported cases of 13- to 19-year-olds committing violence against their own parents in Greater London alone over a 12-month period from 2009-10. The study found that 87% of suspects in the London study were male and 77% of victims were women, although fathers could feel more reluctant to report the issue. The study found that, in the reported cases analysed, 60% of victims were classified as white European, while 24.3% were African-Caribbean. It says: Families reporting adolescent-to-parent violence are likely to be at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale. Of those who recorded a profession, 46.7% were unemployed, 11.6% described themselves as housewives, while 3.4% were teachers and 2.9% were nurses.
