“…That is, prior research has found greater occurrence of aggression perpetrated toward parents than toward siblings (Purcell et al, 2014). In contrast, there are studies that have found sibling aggression to be more common in comparison to other types of domestic violence within the household (Roscoe, Goodwin, & Kennedy, 1987;Straus, Gellas, & Steinmeitz, 1980;Wiehe, 1996). Yet, our study is unique in examining both parent and sibling aggression within atypically developing youths.…”

They were more likely to use a weapon (audit 1 = 69%; audit 2 = 65.5%) compared to the clinical sample (audit 1 and 2 = 0%). Examining only the aggressive groups, there was more perpetration of aggression toward parents (audit 1, forensic = 92%, clinical = 75%; audit 2, forensic = 55.17%, clinical = 40%) than toward siblings (audit 1, forensic = 43%, clinical = 50%; audit 2, forensic = 27.58%, clinical = 30%). Based on these findings, we would urge 2 professionals who work within the child mental health, particularly the forensic area, to systematically collect reports of aggression perpetrated toward family members.

“…Children experience a high frequency of violence from other children. Surveys suggest more than half of all children experience violence from a sibling in the course of a year (Goodwin & Roscoe, 1990;Roscoe, Goodwin, & Kennedy, 1987;Straus & Gelles, 1990;Straus, Gelles, & Steinmetz, 1980) and a quarter to a third from a non-sibling peer (Bennett & Fineran, 1998;Coker et al, 2000;Duncan, 1999;Finkelhor & Dziuba-Leatherman, 1994;Kilpatrick, Saunders, & Smith, 2002;Marcus, 2005;Singer et al, 1999).…”

Objective: It is widely presumed that when children are hit by peers or siblings, it is not as serious as similar acts between adults or older youth, which would be termed, "assaults" and "violent crimes". The goal of this study was to compare the violent peer and sibling episodes of younger children to those of older youth in terms of their seriousness and association with symptoms that might indicate traumatic effects. Method: The study collected reports of past year's violent victimizations and childhood symptoms in a national probability telephone sample of 2030 children and youth ages 2-17. The experiences of 10-17-year olds were obtained via self-reports and those of the 2-9-year olds from caregivers. Results: The younger children's peer and sibling victimizations were not less serious than the older youth on the dimensions of injury, being hit with an object that could cause injury or being victimized on multiple occasions. Younger children and older youth also had similar trauma symptom levels associated with both peer and sibling victimization. Conclusion: There was no basis in this study for presuming peer and sibling victimizations to be more benign when they involve younger children. The findings provide justification for being concerned about such peer and sibling violence in schools and families and for counting such victimizations in victimization inventories and clinical assessments.

Others have reported that inter-sibling violence was more common than parent-tochild or spousal violence (Roscoe et al, 1987;Wiehe, 1996). It is noteworthy that Caffaro and Conn-Caffaro (1998) estimated sibling assaults were more common than parent-tochild and domestic violence combined.…”

The perpetration of severe inter-sibling violence (SISV) remains a largely unexplored area of family violence. This paper describes an investigation of risk factors for intentional SISV perpetration. A sample of 111 young people under the care of the Scottish criminal justice or welfare systems was studied. A SISV perpetration interview schedule was developed to measure the influence of 43 potential predictor variables. The Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire and Levenson's Self-Report Psychopathy Scale were also employed in this exploratory analysis.Two distinct factors of intentional SISV perpetration i.e., SISV with weapon use and SISV without weapon use were studied as criterion variables throughout a series of multiple regression analyses. The most robust risk factors, determined by the direction and magnitude of the statistically significant beta weights, for 'SISV with weapon use' were animal abuse (.69) and physically assaulting school staff (.18). The strongest risk factors revealed for 'SISV without weapon use' included physically assaulting (.19) and verbally abusing (.12) school staff as well as low sibling empathy (-.68). The application of these research findings in practice settings is discussed.Risk Factors for Severe Inter-Sibling Violence (SISV) 3 Background
