Disposición a la delincuencia juvenil y creencias irracionales de jóvenes en conflicto con la ley y en riesgo delictivo en Monterrey, México
Summary: Abstract The objective of the current study was to determine the relation of the disposition of juvenile delinquency, from its dimensions of acceptance of crime, drug use and criminal friendships and previous judicial measures with the irrational beliefs of justification of violence, self-concept from violence and problem avoidance in young people in conflict with the law compared to young people at criminal risk. The randomized sample consisted of 597 young people aged 12 to 22, of whom 237 were young men in conflict with the law and 194 young men at criminal risk. A non-experimental, correlational design was used, through the SPSS, multiple linear regression and T-test models were developed for the comparison of the groups. The main findings show that there are differences between the groups compared, with young people in conflict with the law who maintain higher scores of disposition to crime (M=32.48; t=11.08; p=.000) and irrational beliefs (36.17; t=5.68; p=.000). On the other hand, there is a relationship between the disposition to crime and the justification of violence, self-concept from violence and avoidance of problems (R2= .471, gl=3; F=72.8; p=.000) of young people in conflict with law. In young people at criminal risk this relation of variables is maintained and only the avoidance of problems does not reflect a relation to the willingness to committing crimes (R2= .337, gl=3; F=45.07; p=000).
