Adolescent parricide offenders are typically presented in the popular and professional literature as prosocial youths in fear
of their lives, often killing to protect themselves or others from death or serious physical injury or to end the chronic
abuse they and other family members suffer. There are, however, dangerously antisocial youths who kill their parents for selfish,
instrumental reasons.
The trial of Lyle and Eric Menendez, two affluent youths accused of the first degree murder of their parents, captured worldwide
attention. The question “Were they abused kids or did they kill for the money” is addressed in terms of the author’s typology
of parricide offenders. Pertinent case facts are examined in relation to her synthesis of the literature on adolescent parricide
offenders. Close study of this case indicates that the brothers did not fit the profile of “the severely abused child”. An
alternative explanation that more closely fits the established facts is presented. Pertinent questions that need to be addressed
by mental health professionals examining adolescent parricide offenders are addressed. 相似文献
