Directed duties are duties that an agent owes to some party - a party who would be wronged if the duty were violated. A 'direction problem' asks what it is about a duty in virtue of which it is directed towards one party, if any, rather than another. I discuss three theories of moral direction: control, demand and interest theories. Although none of these theories can be rejected out of hand, all three face serious difficulties.
