TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Is serious physical violence almost exclusively male? JO - Violence and gender A1 - Eme, Robert SP - 90 EP - 93 VL - 1 IS - 2 N2 - This article addresses one of the goals of Violence and Gender, which, as articulated in its mission statement, is to determine whether males are, in fact, more violent than females. Regarding physical violence, the study concludes that the answer is affirmative--and overwhelmingly so. This article begins with a discussion of the definition of violence and then presents findings of current, authoritative, critical reviews of sex differences in life-course-persistent antisocial behavior, physical aggression, and violence that provide robust evidence to support this conclusion.
