Resumen
Because of the effects of post-modernity and the social and correlative family destructuring, the identity
construction of the individual has been complicated and adolescence has become a stage of life which is
hard to go through and overcome because they don’t have a life ideal and ethical structuring references. For young people of the marginality, this situation is even more complex due to multiple material shortages as well as psychological, educational and cultural deficits which they experience. The strength when they do something, typical of this age, makes them perpetrate very serious criminal transgressions. The only way to revert their criminal destiny would be to create policies of socio-cultural inclusion within a new symbolic institutionality.
