N2  - This paper focuses on the intergenerational transmission of 
violence as it pertains to adolescent girls, who have come to the
attention of authorities because of their use of violent and anti-­‐social behaviour. The Girls’ Project, a New Zealand study, draws
from a sample of over 100 in-­‐depth interviews and 40 focus groups with girls between ages of 12 to 18 years. Qualitative findings richly depict life within the chaotic homes of girls who
live with violence as part of their reality. Often victims of turbulence, brought on by members of their households, violence is embedded as a norm for these girls. Entangled in  the complexity of family dynamics, girls become both the victims and the perpetrators of violence towards their caregivers
and their siblings. W th this as their background, the potential 
exists for girls to continue violent behaviour in their adult lives and future families. Concluding comments highlight the need for daughters to be considered in the scope of family violence
intervention.(Author's abstract)
