ResumenEn los últimos años, en los medios de comunicación han aumentado alarmantemente los casos de lo que parece un nuevo y preocupante fenómeno de violencia doméstica: la violencia filio-parental. De esta forma, el objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la trayectoria delictiva y los factores de riesgo de los/as menores que han cometido violencia filio-parental en función del sexo. Los participantes de este estudio son 57 menores del Juzgado de Castellón (34 chicos y 23 chicas), cuyo rango de edad oscila entre 14 y 17 años, configurando una media de 15,81. El 82,5% de los/as jóvenes de la muestra han nacido en España, mientras que el 10,5% proceden de países del este de Europa, el 5,3% de países del sur de América y el 1,8% de países árabes. El perfil encontrado en este estudio para este tipo de delito sería el de un varón de 16 años de edad, nacido en España, que cuenta con una agresión filio-parental, que también ha cometido otro tipo de delitos y presenta riesgo en las áreas de Pautas educativas y Educación formal/empleo. En relación al perfil femenino, sería el de una chica de 15 años de edad, nacida en España, que cuenta con un expediente de violencia filio-parental, que no ha cometido otro tipo de delitos y con riesgo en el área de ocio y tiempo libre.
Palabras clave:Violencia filio-parental, trayectoria delictiva, factores riesgo, menores infractores, YLS/CMI, IGI-J.
Child to Parent Violence (CPV) is one of the crimes with the highest rates of increase in Spain in recent years, and has had a significant media and social impact. This phenomenon has been analyzed with different methodologies and samples, but very few studies have used a standardized instrument such as the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI). This study examined the heterogeneous profile of youths in a judicial context. The aims of the study were: 1) to evaluate whether there were any differences in sociodemographic and criminogenic factors in a group of youths who committed CPV in comparison to a group who committed other type of crimes. 2) to analyze which risk factors in the YLS/CMI Inventory are the best predictors of CPV. The participants were 341 youths aged between 14 and 17 years old with a record in the Juvenile Court of a Spanish province. The sample covered crimes committed during a follow-up period from 2011 to 2017. The results showed that the CPV group had a higher risk profile than the comparison group. The Family circumstances, Substance abuse and Personality behavior subscales of the YLS/CMI were able to predict CPV among these youths.
The rise of CPV cases in the last decade has become a matter of concern among researchers, who have investigated prevalence rates and factors related to this type of behavior. This study aims to analyze the criminological profile of the minors who have committed CPV compared to minors who have committed other type of crimes. The participants were 341 juveniles with a disciplinary record in the Juvenile Court of a Spanish province, whose ages ranged from 14 to 17 years old (M ¼ 15.86, SD ¼ 1.02). The results showed that the CPV group represented a moderate level of recidivism and the comparison group had a low risk of recidivism. The CPV group had mostly committed CPV, while the comparison group had tended to commit property crimes. The CPV group had generally served probation or confinement sentences, while the comparison group had mostly been acquitted or served probation.
