Resumen:
Among the different risk factors (RF) associated with criminal
behavior outstand those related to offender?s personality traits and
to lack of social support. These two groups of RF have been considered
among the ??Major Risk/Need Factors?? on the Andrews and Bonta?s
model of criminal behavior (2010). The aim of this study is to
test the relevance of these RF in the relationship between the age
and the type of crime committed. We analyzed data collected with
the RisCanvi, a protocol for the assessment and management of violent
risk behavior for inmates (Andres-Pueyo et al., 2010) in a sample
of 3952 inmates. Personality traits and social support are closely
related across all ages and crime type. If we distinguish offenders
by age, the younger ones show a higher prevalence of several social
influence risk factors and also in other personality traits. Some other
RF are less influenced by age.
