Los objetivos del presente estudio son identificar los distintos perfiles existentes de adolescentes infractores sobre la base de distintos factores de protección de la conducta desviada y analizar si existen diferencias entre sus tasas de reincidencia. Se analizaron los datos de 858 adolescentes de 14 a 17 años que en 2010 finalizaron totalmente una causa penal en la justicia juvenil en Cataluña y que tenían los datos de la evaluación del riesgo hecha con el SAVRY. Para identificar los perfiles se utilizó la técnica de análisis de clases latentes, a partir de los factores protectores del SAVRY. Los resultados indicaron cuatro grupos: 1) jóvenes sin factores de protección (Vulnerables); 2) jóvenes sin apoyo social, pero con fuerte motivación para el cambio (Motivados); 3) jóvenes con apoyo social, pero sin características personales positivas (Apoyados); 4) jóvenes con fuerte apoyo social y características personales positivas (Protegidos). Se compararon las tasas de reincidencia de los grupos en 2015, controlando los factores de riesgo. Los Vulnerables presentaran la mayor proporción de reincidentes (51%), seguido por los Motivados (42%), Apoyados (38%) y Protegidos (27%). Este estudio muestra la importancia de los factores protectores para el desarrollo humano, en especial en lo que se refiere a los jóvenes en riesgo para implicarse en comportamiento delictivo. The objectives of this study are to identify the different existing profiles of adolescent offenders regarding different protection factors for deviant behavior and analyze whether there are differences between their recidivism rates. We analyzed data of 858 adolescents aged 14 to 17 who in 2010 completed a criminal case in juvenile justice in Catalonia and who were assessed with the SAVRY. To identify the clusters, latent class analysis technique was used, based on SAVRY protective factors. The results indicated four groups: 1) adolescents without protection factors (Vulnerable); 2) adolescents without social support, but with strong motivation for change (Motivated); 3) adolescents with social support, but without positive personal characteristics (Supported); 4) adolescents with strong social support and positive personal characteristics (Protected). Recidivism rates of the groups were compared in 2015, controlling for the risk factors. The Vulnerable presented the highest proportion of recidivism (51%), followed by the Motivated (42%), Supported (38%) and Protected (27%). This study shows the importance of protective factors for human development, especially when it comes to young people at risk to engage in criminal behavior.
