Gholar, Laura April 3, 2013 Peck, J.H., & Heide, K.M.(2012). Juvenile involvement in fratricide and sororicide: An empirical analysis of 32 years of u.s. arrest data. Journal of Family Violence, 27, 749- 760. doi: 10.10007/s10896-012-9456-y This research focused on the juvenile fratricide offenders (juveniles who killed their brothers) and juvenile sororicide offenders (juveniles who killed their sisters).
