- Abstract
Background: Research of the indirect effects of neighbourhood risk through psychopathic personality traits (i.e., impulsiveness, narcissism and callous-unemotional traits) on juvenile antisocial behaviour has become relevant. Methods: In the current study, mediation effects were assessed using a sample composed of 406 young people between I4 and 21 years old, 82.7% males, from juvenile centres in Galicia and Andalucía (Spain). Results: The results showed significant mediation effects of neighbourhood risk on antisocial behaviour through impulsiveness and callous-unemotional traits. Conclusions: The implications of the mediation effects for prevention, risk assessment, and risk management in juvenile offenders are discussed.
