Carolina Bringas Molleda, Francisco Javier Rodríguez Díaz, María de la Villa Moral Jiménez

  • The association between criminal and addictive conduct has been debated in many studies, without today a causal direction could be established. The behavior turned aside from the individuals is a product of the interrelationship of several elements of risk that make his appearance more probable. One of these factors is the consumption of drugs, which in turn is going to be related to the history of life of the person. Therefore, this study centres on knowing the use and abuse that a sample of penitentiary boarders does of some substances, both legal and illegal, and the difference in relation with the level of criminal repetition, having in it counts the factors of the age of his first revenue in prison and the type of committed crime, indicating the associate motive of revenue in the Penitentiary establishment. The participants were 157 prisoners of Villabona�s penitentiary establishment (Asturias), in the main males (94,9 %), whose ages include the range between 19 and 49 years. By virtue of the results, there has been verified that the repetition associates positively with the heroine�s consumption in those crimes related to the public health and the property, being in the latter significantly the income in the Penitentiary Establishment to an earlier age. The implications of the results are discussed to achieve a competent adjustment looking for a reduction of the criminal activity and his repetition.
