“…Cross and Campbell (2012) extended this using self-reported aggression and found similar results. This supports the claim (e.g., Felson, 2000Felson, , 2002 that norms of chivalry cause men to inhibit physical aggression towards partners, and that women do not owing to the lack of social sanctions associated with their aggression. There are also studies demonstrating more social acceptance of women's than men's physical aggression to partners (Harris & Cook, 1994;Simon et al, 2001;: this raises the possibility of women's aggression to male partners being disinhibited compared to that towards other women.…”

“…The first trend supports the "chivalry" theory (Felson, 2002(Felson, , 2006, that men are in general more inhibited in physically aggressing to a female partner than they are to another man. The findings for women would suggest that they are less inhibited in physically aggressing to a male partner than they are to another woman, perhaps because they know that chivalry will tend to prevent retaliation by a partner.…”

“…One view of intimate partner violence (IPV) that has been influential in terms of public policy is the "gender perspective" (Felson, 2002), which is associated with feminist analyses (e.g., Debbonaire & Todd, 2012;DeKeseredy, 1988DeKeseredy, , 2011Dobash & Dobash, 1979, 2004Fagan & Browne, 1994;McHugh, Livingston, & Ford, 2005;Pagelow, 1984;Schwartz & DeKeseredy, 2003). Specifically, it holds that men's violence to women arises from patriarchal values, which motivate men to seek to control women's behavior, using violence if necessary.…”

“…In contrast to these views of IPV that emphasize a separate cause from other forms of violence, Felson (2002Felson ( , 2006Felson ( , 2010 and others (e.g., Dutton, 2010Dutton, , 2012 have advocated studying IPV within the context of violence in general, which includes forms of violence that occur outside the home. Felson's analysis indicates the degree to which IPV is similar to other forms of violence and criminal behavior.…”

“…Felson (2000Felson ( , 2002 emphasized the first alternative as being consistent with boys being taught from an early age that they should not hit girls (see also Archer, 2006). Cross, Tee, and Campbell (2011) tested this hypothesis by presenting participants with three conflict scenarios, involving a partner, same-sex non-partner or oppositesex non-partner, and asking them to rate the likelihood of using physical and verbal aggression.…”

The aim of this study was to test predictions from the male control theory of intimate partner violence (IPV) and Johnson's [Johnson, M. P. (1995). Journal of Marriage and the Family, 57, 282-294] typology. A student sample (N ¼ 1,104) reported on their use of physical aggression and controlling behavior, to partners and to same-sex non-intimates. Contrary to the male control theory, women were found to be more physically aggressive to their partners than men were, and the reverse pattern was found for aggression to same-sex non-intimates. Furthermore, there were no substantial sex differences in controlling behavior, which significantly predicted physical aggression in both sexes. IPV was found to be associated with physical aggression to same-sex nonintimates, thereby demonstrating a link with aggression outside the family. Using Johnson's typology, women were more likely than men to be classed as "intimate terrorists," which was counter to earlier findings. Overall, these results do not support the male control theory of IPV. Instead, they fit the view that IPV does not have a special etiology, and is better studied within the context of other forms of aggression. Aggr. Behav. 40:42-55, 2014.

Increasingly, researchers are turning their attention to the issue of aggression and violence perpetrated by girls and women. This reflects mounting evidence from several related fields of research including: criminal justice, corrections, forensic psychology and psychiatry, domestic violence, child and elder abuse, and delinquency and juvenile justice. Together, this research supports several broad conclusions: (i) the assumption of female nonviolence is untenable; (ii) rates of female‐perpetrated aggression are escalating; (iii) aggression by females often has serious negative implications for victims; and (iv) there is insufficient research of risk and protective factors, developmental trajectories, and clinical programs to prevent and reduce female aggression. In this paper, we report the prevalence and incidence of aggression among females; document sex differences and similarities in aggressive and violent behavior; and examine sex‐specific versus common risk factors. We conclude with clinical implications for prevention and intervention and reflect on gaps in knowledge and directions for future research.

This article offers abroad review of trends in sex differences in aggression. We begin by operationalizing aggression and violence and discussing developmental trajectories and pathways to aggression and violence. We then report on the prevalence and incidence of aggression among females and critique assertions that female aggression is increasing. Next, sex differences and similarities in aggressive and violent behavior are examined. This is followed by a critical examination of whether risk and protective factors are sex‐specific. We close with a brief exploration of clinical implications of the extant research literature for prevention and intervention, and reflections on gaps in knowledge and directions for future research.
