Juvenile delinquency in Brazil promotes concern - especially the acts committed by young with more serious (violent) and persistent criminal conduct patterns, which are associated with specific personality traits. The objective of this study is to compare levels of criminal conduct among Brazilian schoolars, grouped according to aspects of socialization personality, from a group of 467 male adolescents. Three clusters are identified from the scores in Agreeableness (S1), Prosociality (S2) and Trustiness (S3). Knowing that the highest scores suggest the greatest social adaptation, Cluster 1, “Low Trustiness” (C1; n = 134) presents the lowest means in Prosociability, besides the lowest means in Trustiness and the greatest means in criminal conducts. The Clúster 2, “High Socialization” (C1; n = 185) presents the best indicators of social adaptation, which is reflected in fewer self-reported criminal behavior. Finally, Clúster 3, “Low Agreeableness” (C3; n = 148), presents a history of conducts similar to the “High Socialization” Clúster, but with the presence of a subgroup with greater self-reported delinquency. The results show variations in the sample studied, in socialization (psychological development), and in themanifestation of criminal conducts.
