Abstract

This study has carried out a first analytical approach between a contempo-rary criminological theory and a specific Latin American problem, to verify explanatory possibilities. Per-Olof H. Wikström’s Situational Action Theory of Crime (TASCD) was used to analyze the participation of adolescents and young people in drug trafficking. Some previous field work carried out in the favelas of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was used as the object of study. A fruitful dialogue was verified, both regarding the con-firmation of the theory and regarding taking a few steps further in understanding the criminological phenomenon evaluated.

Keywords:

Criminology, drug traffic, juvenile delinquency, social conflict, violence
