El quebrantamiento de medida en jóvenes que cumplen medidas judiciales privativas de libertad tiene graves consecuencias, tanto para los individuos como para la sociedad. Por ello, resulta necesario determinar los factores que contribuyen a la explicación de estas conductas. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar las diferencias en una serie de factores de riesgo en función de la presencia y el tipo de quebrantamiento. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 177 jóvenes entre 16 y 22 años que cumplen alguna medida judicial privativa de libertad. La información fue obtenida a partir del Inventario de Gestión e Intervención con Jóvenes (IGI-J). Los resultados del estudio no evidenciaron diferencias en función del género. Sin embargo, algunas diferencias emergieron entre grupos analizados. Específicamente, el grupo de solo no retorno obtuvo puntuaciones significativamente más elevadas en factores de personalidad y actitudes. Estos resultados reflejan la necesidad de desarrollar herramientas de valoración del riesgo que tengan en cuenta este tipo específico de conductas.

The field of criminal psychology involves delving into psychological profiles prone to accepting and justifying sexist attitudes that support sexual violence against adult women (SVAW). The aim of the current study is to analyze the mediating role of moral disengagement in the relationships between dark triad personality traits (Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism) and ambivalent sexism in a sample of 74 male perpetrators of sexual violence against women ( M = 40.58; SD = 10.05) convicted of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual assault and 160 community men ( M = 43.54; SD = 10.63). Since there were no significant differences in the measured variables between individuals convicted of IPV and those convicted of sexual assault, these two groups were combined into a single group of perpetrators of sexual violence against women. A comparison of incarcerated and community men showed that perpetrators of sexual violence against women reported significantly higher levels of ambivalent sexism, moral disengagement, and psychopathy than community men. The moderated mediational model showed that the dark triad was not directly associated with ambivalent sexism, but the relationship was fully mediated by moral disengagement mechanisms. Moreover, the interdependence of the variables evaluated was moderated by group. The moral disengagement mechanisms that explain both hostile and benevolent sexism were associated with Machiavellianism and psychopathy among perpetrators of sexual violence against women, whereas among community men, these mechanisms were associated with Machiavellianism and narcissism. These findings are discussed as they pertain to the treatment of perpetrators of sexual violence against women.
