TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Girls' experiences with violence: an analysis of violence against and by at-risk girls JO - Violence against women A1 - Tasca, Melinda A1 - Zatz, Marjorie S. A1 - Rodriguez, Nancy SP - 672 EP - 680 VL - 18 IS - 6 N2 - A growing body of work has emerged that examines crime and delinquency as gendered events. Given the prevalence of violence in the lives of women and girls, scholars have used various theoretical perspectives, including feminist pathways and "doing gender," to investigate the victimization-offending overlap. The authors contribute to this literature through an analysis of juvenile court records using a sample of at-risk girls. The authors identify the context of girls' experiences as victims of violence, perpetrators of violence, and both victims and perpetrators of violence. The authors conclude with epistemological thoughts regarding transdisciplinary research on girls' experiences with violence.
