Abstract
Violence directed against parents, unrecognized for many years, is a phenomenon today denounced by those individuals who are victims of it. Confronted in our practice by diverse forms of violence, the object of this article is the study of intra-family aggressiveness as a predictor of the capability of the adolescent placed in a Public Institution for the Protection of Youth for the critical analysis of his/her deviant behaviours. The study of a sample of adolescents manifesting violence against their mothers shows us that this form of violence is generally associated with polymorphous delinquency. Besides, these young people regularly come from matri-focal families in which paternal absence and maternal precarity are present. Finally, the observation of our sample reveal that these youth have a lesser capability for self-criticism towards their deviant behaviours.
