Abstract

It is known that criminal behavior in adolescents has been a topic that has been studied since the second half of the 20th century, since it is a problem that worsens as the years go by until it reaches the present time with social, family and individual effects each increasingly complex. The social concern for the behavior of certain adolescents who come into conflict with the criminal law, has called the interest of behavioral researchers to understand it and produce preventive or corrective responses to this type of behavior. As a result of these concerns, the production of scientific articles in different countries and published in specialized journals can be verified, among which, in the last six years, countries such as Spain, Colombia and Argentina stand out, with publications especially in the network of journals of Redalyc, Scielo and Scopus. The concepts on which this research revolves are personality traits of adolescent offenders and adolescent offenders, the same ones that they used as keywords allowed the location of the publications that addressed the subject, once the articles were identified, they were analyzed to identify the results that finally responded to the objectives of the investigation. The nature of this type of research limits the use of a qualitative and quantitative approach, since intellectual production is analyzed qualitatively, but a quantitative description is also made to specify the volume of scientific production where the concepts of adolescent offenders or traits appear. of personality of adolescent offenders. The criminal condition in an adolescent may mean that there was a conflict during socialization, since this allows self-knowledge and the establishment of personality traits or a trigger within it that made this type of behavior appear, being clear that the Personality traits are specific to each human being, which is why there is no single profile for criminal behavior.
