Abstract: The problems associated with violence during adolescence have been on the rise in
recent decades. Many studies have focused only on environmental causes or individual
causes of violence, although a combination of both variables would seem to be the
best option for prediction. The current study aims to assess the relevance of individual
characteristics (personality traits, intelligence, and historical and clinical factors linked to
the risk of violence), contextual risk factors and protective factors in explaining antisocial
and delinquent behaviors in adolescence by comparing three different samples: a
community sample, a sample at risk of social exclusion, and a sample of juvenile
offenders. The results show that the samples at risk of social exclusion and the sample of
juvenile offenders have a very similar profile in terms of personality traits and intelligence,
although they differ from the community sample. However, these two samples do differ in
such contextual variables as peer delinquency, poor parental management, community
disorganization, or early caregiver disruption.
