Abstract
Resumo

Com recurso à Entrevista Estruturada para Famílias Multiproblemáticas (Pakman, 2007) realizou-se um estudo exploratório com 52 jovens delinquentes internadosem Centros Educativosda Direção-Geral de Reinserção Social e Serviços Prisionais. Os dados, analisados com recurso a uma metodologia de métodos mistos, evidenciam que os jovens percecionam um padrão de múltiplas fragilidades caracterizado por uma elevada prevalência do consumo de substâncias aditivas, baixo nível académico, experiência laboral ilegal, rendimentos familiares precários, habitando de forma preponderante em bairros problemáticos, um percurso transgressivo grave e polimórfico com início predominante na fase inicial da adolescência e um comportamento agressivo frequente. Estes adolescentes referenciam como elementos relevantes da rede social pessoal os pares transgressivos anteriores ao internamento e relatam uma elevada incidência de acompanhamento familiar/individual pela segurança social.
