“…The physical abuse of siblings is often minimized (Finklehor, et al, 2006;Steinmetz, 1977) and severe injuries intentionally inflicted by siblings may be disregarded as a result of accidental harm or horseplay (Caffaro & Conn-Caffaro, 2005;Wiehe;1997). Therefore, an improved MEASUREMENT OF SIBLING VIOLENCE 7 understanding of the dynamics which underpin different types of violence should lead to more valid and reliable screening mechanisms (Cooke et al 2011;Kingsbury et al 1997) which are an important adjunct to violence management policies used to guide child and adolescent abuse-prevention strategies (Baker, Cunningham, & Harris, 2011;Gelles & Cornell, 1990). Michie and Cooke (2006) collected data from of 250 adult male offenders using the MacArthur Community Violence Screening Instrument.…”

The measurement of violence is a major challenge in aggression research. Because of the heterogeneous nature of violent behavior, problems arise when applying blanket measures to inherently distinct subtypes of aggression. Incidents of intersibling violence (ISV) exacerbate these problems because siblinghood represents a unique offender–victim situation. This research explored whether an existing two-factor model for severe violence found in a sample of 250 adult offenders (age M = 26.8, SD = 5.9) could be generalized to deliberate severe ISV in a sample of 111 young offenders (age M = 14.83, SD = 1.45). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor model encompassing severe ISV perpetration with weapon use (Factor 1) and severe ISV perpetration without weapon use (Factor 2). The results provide strong empirical support for the two-factor model of violence severity previously established with adult offenders. This analysis demonstrates construct validity of the severity measures among the different types of offenders studied and provides support for generalization across populations.

“…They interpret, predict, and assess their roles in causing a fight, worry about what will happen, and engage in problem solving (Baker & Cunningham, 2009; Buckley, Holt, & Whelan, 2007; Cunningham & Baker, 2011; DeBoard-Lucas & Grych, 2011). Recent reviews of the literature indicate that IPV exposure can affect children’s physical health, emotional and cognitive functioning, social behavior, and neurobiological and relational development (see Baker, Cunningham, & Harris, 2011; Holt, Buckley, & Whelan, 2008; McLaughlin, Sheridan, & Lambert, 2014; Wood & Sommers, 2011).…”

Empirical studies on the impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on children have burgeoned over the last three decades. Notably absent from existing approaches to studying children exposed to IPV, however, is attention to how various positionalities intersect to impact the experiences of children and their families. In fact, while the importance of an intersectional framework for understanding IPV has been discussed for over two decades, little or no attention has been given to issues of children's exposure to IPV. In this article, we examine the current state of the literature on children exposed to IPV through an exploratory meta-analysis, finding limited application of intersectionality and a focus on discrete categories of difference. We then demonstrate why and how an intersectional framework should be applied to children exposed to IPV, with specific strategies for research and policy. We suggest a child-centered approach that recognizes diversity among children exposed to IPV, extending the challenge to traditional "one-size-fits-all" models to include an intersectionality-informed stance.
