Abstract

Every day increases the proportion of crimes committed by minors, being the most frequent thefts and homicides. The central objective is oo characterize the sociodemographic factors of young people and adolescents under the criminal liability system in a specialized care center (CAE), determining possible factors associated with criminal behavior. The methodology used was the Cross-sectional documentary study of juvenile offenders under a custodial measure in Bogotá, Colombia. A descriptive univariate and bivariate analysis was performed in the STATA 13 software. By Resolution 8430 of 1993 of the Ministry of National Health, it is classified as risk-free research. A total of 483 adolescents were included. 88% are male, the average age was 17.6 ± 1.3 years. The most frequent crimes were theft (62.1%) and homicide (15.9%). The median time of intramural stay was 18 months (RIC: 12-36). 31.1% of the youths were repeat offenders. The use of psychoactive substances and recidivism in crimes were strongly associated (p value = 0.002), and there was also an association between the use of these substances with theft (p value <0.001). It concluded this diagnosis constitutes the basis for future studies that allow to recognize if these sanctions are effective and meet the expectations of the system.
