Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

 Some girls are violent and female violence has taken on distinct patterns and trends.
 Peer violence. The majority of girls' violence is directed at same-sex peers. Girls fight with peers to gain status, to defend their sexual reputation, and in self-defense against sexual harassment.
 Family violence. Girls fight more frequently at home with parents than do boys, who engage more frequently in violence outside the household. Some incidents represent striking back against what they view as an overly controlling structure. Other girls attack family members as a defense against or an expression of anger stemming from being sexually and or physically abused by members of the household.
 Violence within schools. When girls fight in schools, they may do so as a result of teacher labeling, in self-defense, or out of a general sense of hopelessness.
 Violence within disadvantaged neighborhoods. Girls in disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to perpetrate violence against others because of the increased risk of victimization and parental inability to protect them from community predators, as well as lack of opportunities for success.
 Girls in gangs. Girls associated with primarily male gangs exhibit more violence than those in all-female gangs. Girls in gangs are more violent than other girls but less violent than boys in gangs.
 Student views will vary.
