Características psicopáticas en la adolescencia: sistematización teórica

Introduction: Different developmental and environmental vulnerability conditions can influence violent behavior in young people.Objectives: To describe the characteristics of young males who were convicted of murder or attempted murder in the province of Buenos Aires, based on indicators of maturity, impulsivity, and socio-family vulnerability.Materials and Methods: Descriptive and exploratory study. The sample consisted of 195 young men (mean: 16.8 years) imprisoned in reformatory institutions of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, as they were convicted of murder (n=130), repeated murder (n=15), or attempted murder (n=50). Self and hetero-informed instruments, and professional assessment scales were used, namely: the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFC); the Psychosocial Maturity Inventory (PSM); the Weinberg Adjustment Inventory (WAI); the Resistance to Peer Influence Questionnaire (RPIQ); the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV); the Inventory of Callous Unemotional Traits (ICU), and the Barrat Impulsiveness Scale version 11 (BIS-11).Results: The distribution of the total BIS 11 and the PSM Individual Adaptation were normal (mean: 62.33 and 6.38, respectively). The mean of the total PCL:YV was 25.87. In 32.8% of the cases a first degree relative was also imprisoned. “Impulsive” and “Nonimpulsive” clusters were empirically established.Conclusions: The participants’ profile is characterized by several psychological and socio-family vulnerabilities that should be targeted in preventive interventions aimed at preventing violent recidivism.

This article presents the problems and needs discovered in the investigation on the implementation of the National Emergency Telecommunications System (SNTE), decree 2434 of 2015, in the case studies related to the cities, Bogotá and Medellin. The objective is to determine the degree of progress of the SNTE among the entities in charge of disaster risk management. The evidence indicates that there is progress in each city studied in terms of strengthening their emergency communications systems, but there is no operational articulation that indicates a substantial advance in the implementation of the SNTE on an inter-municipal scale. As recommendations, two major political challenges are proposed so that this process is carried out in an orderly and systematic manner; the first is to ensure that the information from the SNTE helps to define governance schemes for risk management for cities; the second is the inclusion of social actors and their networks to reduce the social vulnerability scenarios linked to disasters. This research is exploratory in character with a qualitative approach, using the case study as a proven central technique.
