This study aims to draw together what is known regarding the characteristics and context of adult family violence, and to consider what practitioners and organisations in the UK might learn from the literature.Design/methodology/approachThis study reviews literature on adult family violence and parricide and includes illustrative cases from a study of domestic homicide review reports involving older adults.FindingsAdult family violence most often involves mothers killed by their adult sons. Mental health issues, alcohol/substance misuse and criminality are common themes for perpetrators. Caregiving responsibilities is a theme for both victims and perpetrators. Previous research identified two main categories of adult family homicide: perpetrators with major psychotic illness, and victims-perpetrators in complex relational contexts.Practical implicationsThis study considers how practitioners respond to situations of adult family violence and learning for policymakers, agencies and practitioners.Originality/valueThis paper summarises what is known, argues that more research is needed and suggests practical ways forward for policymakers, relevant agencies and practitioners.
