Resumo: Adolescents’ transgressions to laws in the Latin American region are a public problem that needs more attention. This article analyzes its complex characteristics, its sociodemographic and delinquent profile in Mexico, based on data of juvenile population treated by the Adolescent Justice System. The Article develop two propositions explaining juvenile delinquency. It is the result of an interaction between the social tensions produced by a limited opportunity structure, as well as an outcome of the systematic, unequal profiling and labelling of police and judicial authorities of this disadvantaged group. The article proposes a critical reassessment of the category of amateur delinquent within the sociological and criminological literature.

Constituyen una base documental única para conocer las tendencias, grados y características de los delitos, y los perfiles de las y los transgresores menores de edad. Este trabajo procura construir el complejo perfil del joven infractor a partir de datos de menores de edad procesados por el sistema de justicia de adolescentes en México. Propone que la conducta obedece a una doble interacción entre las tensiones producidas por la limitada estructura de oportunidades que viven los jóvenes así como por una construcción pública y mediática de un perfil de sujetos propensos a cometer delitos, sustentada en la costumbre de estrategias de control policial y judicial, con prácticas que etiquetan e institucionalizan un solo perfil de adolescentes. Revisa críticamente las teorías sociológicas de la desviación y del comportamiento delictivo juvenil. Muestra los límites de esta categoría y propone algunas alternativas. ==== Adolescents’ transgressions to laws in the Latin American region are a public problem that needs more attention.
