Abstract

A bibliographical synthesis is offered around the main risk and protection factors relating to the manifestation of violent conducts. More specifically and after having selected the most meaningful research studies made to this date, the essential objective of this work is oriented toward the analysis of those factors likely to affect, in the family context, the origin, development or mitigation of antisocial behaviors expressed during adolescence. However, and for the purposes of an introduction, the theories serving to support the existence of any such relationship between factors and behaviors are exposed as well as its continuity during adult life.
