La presente investigación parte del supuesto de que los patrones familiares y sociales intervienen en el comportamiento antisocial de los privados de libertad de 18 a 25 años y plantea como objetivo general, analizar los patrones familiares y sociales intervinientes en el comportamiento antisocial de los privados de libertad de 18 a 25 años del Centro Penitenciario de Bocas del Toro. Se utilizó la metodología mixta, con un alcance exploratorio, descriptivo y correlacional para la parte cuantitativa y diseño fenomenológico para la cualitativa. Se manejó la muestra probabilística aleatoria simple y por conveniencia. La información se recopiló a través de cuestionario con la técnica encuesta para los datos cuantitativos, para la información cualitativa se utilizó una guía de preguntas y la técnica entrevistas. Los datos cuantitativos se analizaron mediante los SPAS y para los cualitativos, a través de mapas conceptuales. Los principales resultados revelan que los patrones familiares influyen más que los patrones sociales en el comportamiento antisocial de los privados de libertad, probando, de esta manera, la hipótesis de la investigación.This research is based on the assumption that family and social patterns intervene in the antisocial behavior of inmates between 18 and 25 years of age, and its general objective is to analyze the family and social patterns that intervene in the antisocial behavior of inmates between 18 and 25 years of age in the Bocas del Toro Penitentiary Center.
