520 _aThis article explores violence within sibling relationships. The author provides an overview of previous research in this area, and emphasises the paucity of research into sibling violence in New Zealand and internationally. A pilot study into sibling violence was conducted with a sample of 51 high school students, aged 13 to 15 years, from the Waikato region. Data was collected about sibling relationships in students' self-reports and students' reports on other siblings in their homes. The results indicate relatively high levels of sibling violence. Levels of sibling violence between all brother, all sister and mixed gender families are compared. Limitations of the study include the small sample size and obtaining data from only one source.
