Notes:	One of the first empirical studies of violence in dating relationships carried out in Britain using a sample of secondary school students. Quantitative data indicted that over half the girls and almost half the boys reported one or more forms of aggression in their dating relationships. The study combined quantitative and qualitative data to explore the symmetry of violence theory. While the results suggest some gender symmetry, especially in relation to physical and psychological aggression, sexual aggression was perpetrated much more often by boys. The study also found that context, meaning and gender are crucial in understanding the complexity of violence in dating relationships.
