However, as we have seen in the results, this predictive capacity suffers a decrease when it comes to discriminating the recidivism between gender, in a racial way, in young drug offenders and in sex offenders.In areas where such discrimination is required, the use of more specific tools is recommended to avoid this loss of predictive power and thus be able to better manage the available resources.INTRODUCTIONThe present work deals with the Inventory for Management and Intervention for young people (IGI-J) and its Anglo-Saxon version (Youth Level of Service / Case Management Inventory) of Hoge and Andrews (2003). These inventories are tools with which to assess which are the specific risk factors of the young person and which personal and environmental needs can be met, and have their origin in the Level of Service Inventory-Revised scale (LSI-R; Andrews and Bonta, 1995).The theoretical framework that supports the IGI-J is the model of criminal behavior of Andrews and Bonta (2006). According to this model, the delinquent behavior of young people is based on a complex network of personal and environmental variables that are interrelated with each other.Andrews and Bonta (2006) defend the existence of two groups of factors associated with criminal behavior, static factors and dynamic factors. ++++RESULTSARTICLE AUTHOR/S SAMPLE RELIABILITY PREDICTIVE VALIDITYGENERALPredicción de la reincidencia con delincuentes juveniles: Adaptación del IGI-J, Revista sobre la infancia y la adolescencia.Garrido V., López E. & Galvis M.J.
