Abstract
Arrests for violent behavior have declined in recent decades, however, aggravated assault is increasing in females and remains a public health challenge. Our study builds upon previous work by our lab which found that females in the juvenile justice system have equal or greater rates of aggression, and greater empathy compared to males. We hypothesize that higher empathy is associated with lower aggression, and levels of empathy differ depending on the type of aggression, in females. Participants were 150 adolescents (40% female), detained as juveniles. Measures include the Interpersonal Reactivity Index and the Youth Self-Report and Teacher Report forms.
