“…Caffaro & Conn-Caffaro, 2005;Hardy, 2001), mas há um hiato na literatura quanto à distribuição das vitimizações, por géne-ro. Como a maior parte dos estudos que registam abusos sexuais por irmãos decorrem de amostras clínicas (Adler & Schutz, 1995;Canavan et al, 1992), agrupam sobretudo casos de incesto irmão-irmã e raramente incluem vítimas (ou perpetradores) de ambos os sexos (Krienert & Walsh, 2011b). Apesar disso, foram pontualmente encontradas prevalências superiores a 20% de vitimizações sexuais em participantes masculinos (Caffaro & Conn-Caffaro, 2005;Krienert & Walsh, 2011b), valor preocupante e eventualmente compatível com a "síndrome do vampiro", anteriormente referida, na explicação da perpetuação de abusos sexuais em díades masculinas.…”

“…O abuso sexual entre irmãos pode perturbar o relacionamento intrafamiliar e afetar a vítima, na sua identidade e desenvolvimento sexual, e no seu funcionamento intrapsíquico (Adler & Schutz, 1995). O abuso sexual na fratria irmão-irmã possui características semelhantes às do abuso sexual pai-fi lha quanto à ameaça ou uso da força, ou às sequelas físicas provocadas (Rudd & Herzeberger, 1999).…”

ResumoA violência entre irmãos é uma das formas mais comuns de violência familiar. Este estudo pretendeu caracterizar este problema em Portugal, numa amostra de 588 estudantes universitários. Os diferentes tipos de violência (física, psicológica e sexual) foram avaliados com as "Revised Confl ict Tactics Scales -Sibling Version". Procedeu-se a análises descritivas exploratórias das distribuições das principais variáveis, recorreu-se ao teste do χ 2 e a análises de covariância múltipla. Os resultados indicaram que a violência entre irmãos é muito frequente no início da adolescência; os rapazes perpetraram signifi cativamente mais atos de violência física (p <0,001) e sexual (p <0,05) do que as raparigas, mas foram também, física (p <0,001) e sexualmente (p <0,05), mais vitimizados. Também as díades masculinas apresentaram níveis de violência física e sexual signifi cativamente superiores aos de todas as outras díades, indicando claramente a reciprocidade do fenómeno. Os resultados foram discutidos segundo perspetivas de 'normalização de agressões' (dissonância cognitiva; Hardy, Beers, Burguess, & Taylor, 2010) e do 'ciclo de violência', as quais explicam a manutenção de comportamentos abusivos entre irmãos e a sua possível transferência para outras relações. Palavras-chave: Violência, irmãos, díades fraternas, diferenças de género. AbstractSibling violence is one of the most common forms of family violence. This study aimed to characterize this issue in Portugal, among a sample of 588 undergraduates. The different types of victimization (physical, psychological and sexual) were assessed through the "Revised Confl ict Tactics Scale -Sibling Version". Descriptive exploratory analyses of the main variables, χ2 test, and multiple analyses of covariance were conducted. The results indicated that sibling violence is more frequent during early adolescence; boys committed signifi cantly more physical (p <.001) and sexual (p <.05) violent acts than girls, but they were also signifi cantly more victimized than girls, both physically (p <.001) and sexually (p <.05). Also, the male dyads showed signifi cantly higher levels of physical and sexual violence than all other dyads, indicating clearly the reciprocal phenomenon. The results are discussed according to 'normalization of aggression' and 'cycle of violence' perspectives, which both help to understand the perpetration of abusive behaviors among siblings, as well as their occasional transfer to other relationships.

“…However, Adler and Schutz (1995) argue that: "Sibling incest is the least investigated but probably the most common form of incest" (p. 811). Carlson et al (2006) concur, adding, however, that sibling IFCSA is not well understood and the actual prevalence rate is unknown.…”

“…Although IFCSA can be perpetrated by people from a range of relationships, it is fathers or stepfathers who are the most studied (Adler and Schutz, 1995) and usually cited as the most frequent offenders (deChesnay, 1985). In Newman Lubell and Peterson's (1998) study of 68 adult female survivors of incest, the most commonly reported perpetrator was the natural father (47 per cent); followed by brother (31 per cent), mother (18 per cent), and stepfather (9 per cent).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to report on the findings from a study commissioned by the Office of the Children's Commissioner (OCC) in England, concerning intrafamilial child sexual abuse (IFCSA)/incest. Specifically, it aims to explore what is known about the prevalence, nature, and impact of IFCSA and where the gaps in knowledge lie.Design/methodology/approach -A rapid evidence assessment (REA) was used, the function of which is to: search the literature as comprehensively as possible within given time constraints; collate descriptive outlines of the available evidence on a topic and critically appraise it; sift out studies of poor quality; and provide an overview of the evidence. Over 57,000 documents were scanned, and 296 ultimately systematically analysed.Findings -It was found that: there is wide variation in prevalence rates between studies; girls are more likely to be victims than boys; the onset of abuse is typically school age; abuse in minority groups is underreported; sibling abuse may be more common than that by fathers; female perpetrated abuse may be under-reported; families where abuse occurs are often dysfunctional; and IFCSA has significant adverse effects on victims.Research limitations/implications -A REA is not a full systematic review, differing in the scope and depth of the searches and depending almost exclusively on electronic databases, not accompanied by searching journals by hand.Practical implications -This work found numerous gaps in current knowledge about IFCSA, which the authors recommend be addressed by further research, including: the scale and nature of IFCSA in disabled victims, research on BME children's experiences; the prevalence of abuse by stepfathers as compared to biological fathers; the experiences of male victims; the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered child victims; the short-term impact of IFCSA based on child victims' experiences; and more widely, further research on the prevalence of abuse in clinical populations and the relationship between that and prevalence in wider society. In addition to such questions, the OCC inquiry will also investigate issues surrounding child protection and criminal justice responses to (IF)CSA and how these might be improved. The evidence base for this section of the inquiry is reported in Gekoski et al. (2016).Originality/value -The findings of this research provide the evidence base for a new twoyear inquiry into the subject of IFCSA by the OCC.
