N2  - The study assesses the perceptions of young students about the motivations and influences that lead teenagers to commit an illegal act. To this end, secondary students from the Italian town of Forlì are evaluated using self-reports. Almost half of them reported having a friend who had committed a crime, and most of them said that they reacted with disappointment or indifference when they learned of it, while only a few responded cheerfully or with admiration. Looking for grounds of those behaviors, they highlight the group of friends, and family and school problems. (English)    Keywords: Juvenile justice; Juvenile delinquency;<p />
