heal.abstract	Juvenile delinquency rises steadily during the last decades and studies investigating factors associated with this phenomenon are urgently needed. The present study aims to examine the psychosocial profiles of 93 young males, aged 13-24 (mean age=19.29), recruited from 3 correctional centers for minors in Greece and their self-perceptions regarding their relationship with their parents and their scholastic competence. Method Participants completed: a) the Self-Perception Profile for Children (Harter, 1985) for the investigation of their perceived competence in the domains mentioned above and b) a questionnaire constructed by the investigators exploring the psychosocial profiles of the participants. Results Regarding the participants’ psychosocial profiles, results revealed that 28% of them were immigrants; the majority came from large families, one third of which faced serious financial and offending problems, whereas almost half of their parents were of very low educational level. Regarding their self-perceptions, almost half of the participants reported very low perceived scholastic competence and very bad perceived relationship with parents. Conclusions According to the results, high levels of psychosocial adversity, coupled with low perceived scholastic competence and bad relationship with parents characterize by large young offenders. Implications of these results for the prevention of juvenile delinquency are discussed.	el
