Study of risk factors in juvenile offenders for the design of social intervention

Despite the social alarm caused by criminal behaviour in minors, the data reflects the low prevalence of such behaviour. However, it is and has been of great importance for social intervention to study explanatory models of such behaviour, to develop both preventative strategies and psychoeducational interventions. The Triple Risk Crime Model aims to explain the aetiology of these antisocial and criminal behaviours, precisely in order to achieve this goal and based on different integrative models and theories. This study aims to explain this model in professional practice with these minors, concluding with the emergence of the three sources of risk: individual risks, prosocial deficiencies and criminal opportunities. The Triple Crime Risk model takes into account the accumulation of risks and so is able to identify the estimation of future risk of crime.
