We introduce a set of observables representing angular distribution asymmetries, which can be viewed as a generalization of the forward-backward asymmetry of angular distributions, and can be used as an effective tool to search for violation in three-body decays of bottom and charmed baryons. We propose to search for such asymmetries (1) in decays with 
, 
, or 
involved, such as 
and 
; and (2) in three-body decays of bottom baryons with opposite parity intermediate resonances involved. Typical examples include 
, 
and 
, in which the last decay channel is used as a toy model to illustrate the basic idea.
