Abstract
This study suggests that aggression in detained adolescent females does not fade away, and should thus be given substantial clinical attention. In assessment, focus should also be on inward and covert subtypes. Further research should explore the necessity of developing gender-specific diagnostic instruments, treatment modules and risk assessment tools. When replicated, our findings may also bear implications for the classification of behavior disorders in adolescent females.
