espanolPresentamos un estudio original sobre consumo/abstinencia de drogas en adolescentes y su asociacion con el riesgo de reincidencia violenta. A una muestra de 192 sujetos se le aplico el cuestionario SAVRY –Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth–, con el objetivo de analizar la asociacion entre el riesgo de reincidencia en delitos violentos y el consumo y abstinencia de drogas. Los resultados mostraron que: el no consumo se asocia al riesgo de reincidencia en delitos violentos intrafamiliares, el consumo de cocaina a robo con violencia e intimidacion, y el policonsumo de drogas al riesgo de reincidencia en diferentes delitos, siendo comun el ataque contra las personas. Las conclusiones exponen la importancia de la comunicacion intrafamiliar y los programas comunitarios de prevencion para fortalecer la socializacion positiva y desarrollar factores de proteccion que eviten conductas inadaptadas y delitos violentos. EnglishWe present an original study on drug use/withdrawal in adolescents, and its association with the risk of violent recidivism. A sample of 192 participants answered the SAVRY questionnaire Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth–, with the aim of analyzing the association between the risk of recidivism in violent crimes involving drug use and withdrawal. The results showed that non-consumption is associated to risk of recidivism in violent intra-family crimes; the consumption of cocaine was associated to theft with violence and intimidation, while consumption of various drugs to recidivism risk in several crimes, being battery quite common. We conclude that family communication and community prevention programs are extremely important to strengthen positive socialization and develop protective factors to avoid misfits and violent crimes.
