Girls were more likely to be perpetrators of dating violence than boys, a pattern that is consistent with the higher rates observed for girls in high school samples (O'Keefe, 1997). Girls and boys were equally likely to be victims. However, a closer examination of moderately versus severely violent behaviors revealed a second key pattern among those in violent relationships: Girls who were perpetrators used moderate behaviors, whereas boys used severe behaviors, and girls who were victims received severe behaviors, whereas boys received moderate behaviors. Thus, although there were fewer violent boys, those who were violent were more likely to be severely violent than were violent girls
