Abstract

Background: Antisocial and criminal behaviors are frequently associated with illegal behaviors committed by adolescents between 12 and 19. This study aims to examine antisocial and criminal behavior in adolescence and establish guidelines that contribute to educational prevention. Specifically, we sought to evaluate self-reports of antisocial and criminal behaviors in adolescents, verifying differences in the variables sex and age.

Method: A total of 396 adolescents participated in the study. They were aged 12 to 19 years old (M = 15.8, SD = 1.6), were of both sexes (63.9% girls or women and 36.1% boys or men) and were attending primary and secondary schools in Brazil. The Antisocial-Criminal Behaviors Questionnaire (A-D) was administered online. Descriptive and comparative analyses by sex and age were performed.

Results: Boys presented more transgressive behaviors than girls, not overall, but in specific behaviors included in the two scales of the questionnaire used. In terms of age, self-reported antisocial and criminal behaviors increased with student age.

Conclusions: From a systemic perspective, educational proposals are made to identify and neutralize risk factors and improve protective factors for adolescents.

巴西青少年反社会和犯罪行为的教育预防。

背景:反社会和犯罪行为往往与12至19岁青少年的非法行为有关。本研究旨在检视青少年的反社会及犯罪行为，并建立有助于教育预防的指导方针。具体来说，我们试图评估青少年反社会和犯罪行为的自我报告，验证性别和年龄变量的差异。方法:共396名青少年参与研究。他们的年龄在12至19岁之间(M = 15.8, SD = 1.6)，男女皆有(63.9%为女孩或女性，36.1%为男孩或男性)，均在巴西上小学和中学。反社会犯罪行为问卷(A-D)在线进行。按性别和年龄进行描述性和对比性分析。结果:男孩比女孩表现出更多的违法行为，不是整体的，而是在使用的问卷的两个量表中包括的特定行为。在年龄方面，自我报告的反社会行为和犯罪行为随着学生年龄的增长而增加。结论:从系统的角度提出教育建议，以识别和中和青少年的危险因素，改善青少年的保护因素。
