Gender-specific rates of violence exposure and violence perpetration among psychiatrically ill adolescents has received little scientific attention. We examined 130 adolescent inpatients and found no difference between male and female subjects with respect to self-reported violence potential or actual violence perpetration. Female inpatients, however, were significantly more often victims of sexual assault, and male inpatients were significantly more often victims of physical assault. For male inpatients, a history of violence perpetration in one area was closely linked with a history of violence victimization in the same area. Alternatively, patterns of victimization and perpetration among female inpatients were less predictable and had crossover to victimization and perpetration experiences in other areas. Correlational analyses revealed that violence risk was associated with a broad range of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. Significant associations with hopelessness, suicidality, and childhood trauma differentiated the violence risk of male and female inpatients. We propose a hypothesis for understanding these differences and conclude that although psychiatrically ill adolescent male and female patients may commonly fall victim to differing forms of violence, both genders are at equal risk for actual violence perpetration.
