Los jóvenes tutelados se encuentran sobrerrepresentados en la población de menores infractores. Algunos autores consideran que la entrada en el sistema de protección es un factor de riesgo para desarrollar conducta delictiva, mientras que otros afirman que ambos grupos solamente comparten factores de riesgo. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar los perfiles de los jóvenes tutelados en función de si han tenido o no medidas judiciales. La muestra está compuesta por 281 jóvenes en acogimiento residencial, de los que 35 (12.4%) eran menores infractores. Se analizaron los expedientes y los resultados señalan que los jóvenes tutelados infractores entraban con más edad en el sistema de protección, ejercían violencia contra sus padres, que no podían controlarlos, y manifestaban problemas de consumo y de adaptación escolar. Estos resultados se comentan en relación a la literatura existente. Between two systems: Youth in residential care with legal measures A B S T R A C T Youths in residential care (RC) are over-represented in the population of juvenile offenders. Some authors consider that entering the protection system is a risk factor for developing criminal behavior, whereas others consider that the two groups (non-offenders and offenders in RC) only share risk factors. The objective of this study is to compare profiles of youth in RC according to whether or not they have received judicial measures. The sample consists of 281 young people in RC, of whom 35 (12.4%) were juvenile offenders. Files were analyzed and the results indicate that young offenders in RC were older when they entered the protection system, had exerted violence against their parents, who could not control them, and had consumption and school adaptation problems. These results are discussed in the light of existing literature.
