“…These deficits coexisted, logically, with higher impulsivity. These results are also consistent with studies where a relationship appears between executive functioning and antisocial behavior in general [ 100 ] and CPV in particular [ 101 ]. This is so in that executive functioning is closely tied to the attention, planning, and cognitive flexibility that are required for an adaptive solution of interpersonal problems.…”

The main objective of this study was to establish the psychosocial profile of adolescents and adults who have admitted to committing child-to-parent violence (CPV) and were serving a judicial sanction or prison sentence, respectively. Two groups of participants took part in this study. The first group was made up of 89 male youths who were serving judicial sanctions, and the second group was made up of 70 men serving a prison sentence. A cross-sectional retrospective design with concurrent measurements was used in this study. Group differences in the exposure-to-violence variables were conducted. Automatic regression models were used to estimate a self-reported CPV. In relation to the variables of indirect exposure to violence, statistically significant differences between those who admitted having committed CPV and those who did not, irrespective of being adults or adolescents, were found for seeing violence in class and at home but not for seeing violence on the street or on television. Regarding the variables related to experiencing violence, the results showed statistically significant differences in experiencing violence at home but not in class or on the street. The best predictive model of CPV includes some of the dimensions of self-concept, specifically academic and family self-concept, as well as the avoidant and rational problem-solving styles and the negative orientation toward problems. The results have shown the existence of a CPV offender profile that is common to minors and adults.

“…Nigg () defines self‐regulation as an umbrella term that reflects a dynamic, ongoing process of adaptive regulation of internal states and behaviors. Indeed, an extensive body of literature links an array of self‐regulatory deficits to conduct problems and associated criminality (for reviews, see Frick & Morris, ; Gil‐Fenoy, García‐García, Carmona‐Samper, & Ortega‐Campos, ; Morgan & Lilienfeld, ). However, there is limited consensus in this work regarding specific self‐regulatory deficits associated with conduct problems.…”

The current study utilized a person-centered approach to explore how self-regulatory profiles relate to conduct problems in an ethnically diverse sample of 197 adolescents referred to juvenile diversion programming. Utilizing a multidomain, multimethod battery of self-regulation indicators, three common profiles emerged in a latent profile analysis. The profiles represented an Adaptive group, a Cognitively Inflexible group, and an Emotionally Dysregulated group. Group membership was associated with severity and type of conduct problems as well as callous and unemotional traits. The Adaptive group demonstrated lower severity conduct problems when compared to the other groups. The Emotionally Dysregulated group was more likely to commit violent offenses and demonstrated higher levels of some callous and unemotional traits than youth characterized by cognitive inflexibility.While a number of theoretical models of subdomains of self-regulation have been proposed, dualsystems models have been widely adopted for their intuitiveness and practicality, particularly in the area of adolescent development (Steinberg, 2010).

“…This antisocial behavior exhibited by adolescent offenders is related to lesions in the frontal lobe, and research points to executive dysfunction as a risk factor that may be present in criminal behavior (Gil-Fenoy et al, 2018). Traumatic brain injury rates reported in this population have been as high as 77% and have been associated with a higher incidence of aggressive behaviors (Katzin et al, 2020).…”

Adolescents who break the law have experienced situations that increase the likelihood of becoming involved in criminal activities such as drug use, gang involvement, adverse economic conditions, among others. All this, added to their stage of human development, which is characterized by physical, cognitive, social and emotional changes, can lead them to have deficiencies in their cognitive processes and at the same time present educational difficulties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate different cognitive processes of these adolescents in comparison to a control group with similar characteristics but who have not committed any crime and whose education has not been interrupted. For this purpose, were included (n = 62) adolescent offenders and (n = 62) adolescent non-offenders of male sex and aged 14 to 18 years was taken. Basic sociodemographic data on their education and psychoactive substance use were collected, as well as cognitive data with tests such as Ineco Frontal Screening for executive functions, Montreal Cognitive Assessment for general functions, among others. The results showed significant differences in executive functions, attentional processes, memory and language. These difficulties can be key to school performance, therefore, educational interventions adapted to these adolescents are suggested.
