Note: The percentages in this table were computed by dividing each frequency within a column by the total number of aggressions in that column. The frequency of "physical" aggressions was obtained by summing the frequencies for sublasses 5-8 and that for "non-physical" aggressions by adding up subclasses 1-4.
