The family context is the pillar on which human development is based. Families with social and psychological vulnerability do not correspond to the expected parental roles for healthy development and for the execution of all children's needs. In fact, research has repeatedly found a strong relationship between family characteristics and skills development, and the negative impact of socio-family adversity on psychosocial adaptation. In this sense, low-income families with social vulnerability are related and inserted in a medium where social disorganization tends to prevail with a greater propensity for the appearance of delinquent behaviors in their younger members. The focus of this work is on the relationship between abusive, violent or neglectful family patterns, as well as the factors of the surrounding environment (community), and the subsequent expression of deviant behavior on the part of the young victims of these conditions. We used the qualitative method in this work, with eight semi-structured interviews carried out with technicians from different areas. With regard to data analysis, it was performed a thematic analysis according to Braun and Clarke (2006). We concluded that all technicians showed similar perspectives consistent with the literature, and presented valid and relevant points for the study of the phenomenon presented. In the future, it would be important to undertake studies on the perspectives of young people themselves, regarding the same themes, as well as comparative longitudinal studies, with the aim of improving and adapting the system of social action and justice, so that inequalities of opportunities are increasingly overcome.
