Abstract:
Offenders are a particular social category, with great behavioural diversity. External factors do not act directly and unequivocally on the individual, but through the filter of individual peculiarities, roots of which are to a small extent in the innate elements of the personality and to a large extent in his antecedents and personal history. All these can determine a certain type of dysfunctional behaviour, a certain way of acting and reacting in the psychological space, in the way of resolving the conflict situations that always appear in this space.
Thus, from the perspective of multiple causalities, delinquent behaviour occurs due to several factors, one of which being the perceived parental model.
